Hello, hello, hello! I am overjoyed to be working with our Gifted and Talented students at FCE this school year. I have been teaching at Fox Creek for the past 15 years as a 6th, 4th, and 2nd grade teacher. As I enter my 16th year of teaching, I am thrilled to have an opportunity to help serve our gifted population. 

My goal this year is work with classroom teachers through co-planning and co-teaching partnerships by pushing into the classroom, pulling out small groups of students for extension or accelerated opportunities, and providing social/emotional learning growth to grow in our affective goals with our school counselor, Ms. Christy Lyle. It's important and invaluable to me that I also get to partner with parents to support the growing and ever-changing needs of our learners so they are challenged, supported, loved, and motivated.

I am native to Colorado, truly there isn't a better place to live in my opinion—especially because we get to enjoy the Colorado Avalanche. Yes, we are a huge hockey family (but I just watch, lol!) My husband and I have two wonderful children who attend Fox Creek. Cooper is in 6th grade and he loves to play hockey and golf or anything that keeps him moving and provides him an opportunity to be outside. Reagan is in 5th grade and she is passionate about figure skating and honing her skills every time she is out on the ice. I absolutely LOVE being at their practices, matches, competitions, tournaments, and shows. As a family we love to camp, hike, paddle-board, play games, and travel. 

Seeing children blossom and grow brings me so many smiles and so much joy. I can't wait for an incredible year of learning and growing!
