About Me

I am so excited to be teaching your child math this year! I was a math major at the University of Michigan (GO BLUE!) and I love math. Both of my parents were math teachers and let's just say I grew up with an appreciation for the beauty of math. I completed my Master's Degree in 2023 specializing in Mathematics - Middle Grades which focuses on teaching math to 5th - 9th grades.

I grew up in Hawaii and have lived in Colorado since 2006. I spent two summers in college working on cruise ships in Alaska. Right out of college I spent a year teaching English at a Chinese university and was able to explore China, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore during my time there. I once took a 40+ hour train ride across China on a hard wooden seat, ask me about it sometime! 

I returned to the States and taught high school math in Lansing, Michigan. I have been a special education paraprofessional, substitute teacher and IT tech as well. For 4.5 years I worked at the IT department and Student Affairs department at Western Colorado University in Gunnison. I began my career with DCSD in 2017 as the IT technician at Eldorado. I was in this role for 4.5 years. During my time as the IT technician I also spearheaded and taught the science special. I spent the 2021-2022 school year at Ranch View Middle school where I was their IT technician for the year. However in March 2021, I was called upon to be a long term substitute teacher at Ranch View. I finished out the school year teaching 7th grade math. As much as I love working with technology I found my calling to return to the classroom. I am going to get your child ready for their middle school journey this year because I have been where most of them are going (Ranch View). This will be my fourth year teaching 6th grade math at Eldorado. 

We are going to have a blast this last year of elementary school!
