About Me

I'm a Colorado native and love hiking and riding my bike in the sun. I have 3 Australian Cattle dogs and enjoy playing with them and teaching them new tricks. I have a degree in Human Development and Family Studies from Colorado State University and a M.E. in Literacy from Leslie University.  Over the years I have taught kindergarten through fifth grade (in DCSD and Aurora), but being in the classroom with first graders is my happy place! I love first grade for so many reasons - pulling loose teeth and getting hugs are 2 of my favorites. I'm so happy to be a Heritage Explorer!
