ABOUT ME:
Hello 5th Grade Families!!!!
Welcome to my website. This is my 1st year as a classroom teacher at Ascent Classical Academy and I am thrilled to be year. I have been an Ascent family for 3 years now, 1 year as a parent to a two daughters who are also Ascent students and 1 year spent as an Apprentice Teacher and Substitute teacher.
Prior to teaching I ran my own business as a personal trainer as well as managed several different fitness studios. I absolutely love helping others live lives to their fullest potential and that passion has led to to teaching students to do the same.
I am passionate about what I do and believe my energy drives that passion.
When I am not in the classroom, you can find me outdoors, usually running, horseback riding or hiking on the beautiful Colorado trails. I am also an avid learner and reader and am always reading something for my own personal enjoyment.
EDUCATION PHILOSOPHY:
I believe that all students can and want to learn. It is my job as a teacher to lead my students in an environment that is respectful, loving and caring. I believe that by teaching to the hearts and minds of students that we are able to cultivate a love for learning and aid in the development of virtous citizens.

What is your Favorite Subject?

Why do you love Ascent?
Like many others what attracted me to classical education was the mulitfaceted approach to education. The emphasis on teaching the good, true and beautiful and developing of the moral virtues that help us to live good human lives. Einstein says, "Education is not the learning of the many facts but the training of the mind to think" Ascent focus' on teaching our students how to dig deeper into what makes up the characters of our souls by understanding truth, acquiring the knowledge of right and wrong and developing a love for innate beauty.
