About

I am a Colorado transplant, by way of Jacksonville, Illinois. After growing up in the Midwest, I fell in love with the mountains and attended CU as an undergraduate. I studied Spanish and education and graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2001. Since then, I have been teaching all levels of Spanish in BVSD middle and high schools. I also earned my Master's degree in bilingual education and culturally and linguistically diverse students from UNC in 2007. As a long-time Lafayette/Erie resident, I am thrilled to be teaching at Centaurus. Outside of school, I love spending time with my family, especially my husband, Luke, daughter, Stella, son, Diego, and my 2 sisters who also teach in BVSD. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, cross country skiing, traveling, and yoga. In fact, I teach yoga classes at CHS from time to time and at Lafayette's own Soul Tree Yoga Hub.
