A Little About Me: I grew up in New Jersey and have been living in CO since 2002. My favorite activities are coaching running, being outdoors with my kids, making art, biking, skiing & running. I love thrift store shopping and yoga. My hobbies include photography, painting, drawing, cooking, and personal finance. I am an avid pod-caster on topics such as education, art, design, photography, finance, investing, health, wellness, fitness, mindfulness, and travel. I have worked professionally as a Graphic Designer and Photographer since 2002 for various clients. I completed my Master's Degree in Education at Regis University in Denver in 2006 and have been teaching high school Visual Art and Career and Technical Education classes ever since! I believe that being a mama is the most important job in the world. I love how being a parent has prepared me to be a compassionate, caring mentor for supporting you in the classroom. I am so excited to get to know you this year! Below you will find links to the courses I am teaching. All coursework is on Schoology.
