Collaborators Create Change
We collaborate with others to create greater opportunities for change.
Third-graders learn how humans collaborate to create change in their communities based on current issues and problems. They use the process of inquiry to understand the specific action steps to take as individuals or groups to impact positive change.
Collaborating to Green Up Our Community - How can we collaborate to create a “greener” community with healthy environments for plants and animals?
Collaboration Then and Now - How did people in the past work together to influence the development and interaction of different communities or regions, including economic development?
Is Weather Unstoppable? - How can humans take steps and work together to reduce the impact of natural weather-related hazards that occur across different geographic areas in Colorado?

I am so excited to be joining the LTE Team this year! This will be my fifth year teaching third grade and I absolutely love it! It is my goal as an educator to come alongside my students and help them develop tools and skills they will need to engage positively with our world! When I'm not in the classroom, you can typically find me spending time with friends and family, reading, traveling, hiking, biking, or enjoying a cup of coffee!

Growing up in Brighton, Colorado, I began teaching in 2006, and have taught in Douglas County since 2016. I have also taught in Arizona and abroad, in the United Arab Emirates. I love spending my free time traveling, going to soccer games, and hanging out with my granddaughter, Chelsea. My passion as an educator is to provide students with the tools and experiences they need to be successful and enthusiastic life-long learners.

I am passionate about building a learning environment where my students become fully engaged in exploring and developing their strengths and actively making real-world connections. This is why I am so excited to teach 3rd grade at LTE! I have over 15 years of experience teaching grades K-5 in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Douglas County. When not at work, I love spending time with my family and friends, traveling, being active outside, playing board games, reading, and gardening. I also spend most weekends cheering my son and daughter on from the sidelines!
