This is my ninth year at Northridge Elementary School.  I have taught math enrichment, special education and am starting my third year as NRE's GT Facilitator.  I am a graduate of Arizona State University and have a masters in Educational Psychology from Texas A&M.  I am currently a graduate student at University of Northern Colorado  -  learning never ends! 

I have two children whom I love and adore.  Both enjoy performing in countless plays and musicals around town.  On the weekends I'm usually watching a performance somewhere.

I run a number of extracurricular activities at Northridge.  Information on all the clubs can be found within this website.  Come on out and get involved!

Welcome! I am the new half time Gifted and Talented facilitator for K-2. I have a background in teaching in the primary grades and in Spanish and ESL programs. I have also spent the last three years working as a consultant teacher at Northridge, where I have done small group reading and math instruction, often with the academically advanced students. I am endorsed as a Reading Specialist. 

I have two GT kids of my own that attend Northridge! In my free time, I love spending time with them, my husband, and our two kitties and pups. We love to camp and travel!
