About our Team 

I am honored to be a part of the amazing Denver Green School team, teaching fifth-grade math. It is a privilege to be a part of the dynamic learning environment that empowers young minds to grow and flourish. The dedication to equitable education and belief in its transformative power fuels my excitement for this journey with both students and families.

In our fifth-grade math class, I am committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where each student feels valued and encouraged, striving to make math not only understandable but also enjoyable, nurturing a lifelong love for learning. Through engaging activities, thoughtful discussions, and collaborative projects, we will explore the world of numbers and problem-solving together.

I’m thrilled to be part of the Denver Green School community! I’ve taught 4th grade in DPS for several years and recently spent a year teaching English in Spain.

Teaching has always been my passion, and I’m committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and joyful classroom where students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. I love working with kids, discovering what inspires them, and making learning meaningful and fun every day.

I’m so excited for the year ahead and can’t wait to get to know all of our amazing scholars and families!

I am excited to be apart of this amazing DGS community! This will be my third year at DGS, however my first year teaching 5/6 Science.  I started at DGS as a 1:1 para, then transitioned into teaching last year.

I was born in California, but moved to Colorado after graduating from Oregon State University. When I am not at school I enjoy spending my time hiking, doing yoga, or exploring new places.

I’m so excited to dive into a year full of exploration, discovery, and curiosity. Whether we’re building models, conducting experiments, or asking big questions about the world around us, science will be hands-on, minds-on, and always full of wonder.

I was born and raised in Centennial, Colorado, but have always wanted to travel and explore the world.  I remember seeing a picture of the Japanese Temple of the Golden Pavilion, Kinkaku-ji,  in my 6th grade history book and thinking, "I want to go there."  I started my journey by moving to Seattle for college, majoring in International Studies with an emphasis in foreign language.  I studied abroad in Austria whereI got to learn German and travel around Europe.  After graduating, I was accepted into the Japanese Exchange and Teaching program and moved to Sendai, Japan for two years, where I taught English conversation at a local high school. From there, I moved to Mexico for three years and taught a variety of ages at a Language School, then became an elementary homeroom teacher at private English schools for two years.  I finally returned to Colorado and have been here ever since, teaching amazing multilingual children from around the world.  I truly love supporting students with their acquisition of English while learning about who they are and their culture.  I look forward to meeting this year's group of fabulous 5th graders!  (And if you're wondering, I did get to see the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto, Japan!)
