Hello! I am so excited to be your child’s teacher this year!  We are going to learn so much, and create many memories together. My goals for my students are to enjoy learning while reaching their highest potential. I know together, we can make 5th grade a very successful and memorable year.      

      A little bit about me...I’m a Colorado native. My hometown is  Pueblo, Colorado. This is my 32nd year of teaching. I taught 5th grade for 22years and 2nd grade for 9 years. I have a bachelor’s degree in Social Science with an Emphasis in Elementary Education and a masters degree in Early Childhood Education. I earned both degrees from the University of Northern Colorado. 

 I  have three beautiful children who have grown up way too fast!  Joe is 24. He is working for Charles Schwab and is engaged!  Anna is 22 and working on her masters at Colorado Mesa. Tommy is in his 3rd year of college and is working on his degree online through Colorado Mesa and is also working as a personal trainer. They are my everything and keep life fun and exciting! 

I enjoy exercising, yoga, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.  My passion, of course, is teaching young children and watching them grow academically and socially.
