I'm not a Colorado native, but am beginning to feel like one. I grew up in Ohio, and my husband and I moved to Denver in 2006. I have an undergraduate degree in psychology, and teaching is my second career. This is my fifth year at PGE. I have three children: Nathan, 14, Simon, 11, and Zoe, 6. We have two dogs, Boo and Toby, and one guinea pig, Sprinkles. Pepsi and chocolate are my two indulgences. Outside of teaching, I enjoy being outdoors, reading mysteries, baking, crafts, and napping! I can't wait to get to know and nurture your student in second grade.
