I have been teaching at Warder Elementary since 2003 and absolutely love being part of the Warder family. Our Warder family is wonderful because our community is very supportive of one another and always puts students' needs first.
I have a Master of Science degree in Elementary Education from Regis University. Additionally, I consider myself a life-long learner, I am frequently engaged in various professional learning opportunities or reading a good book.
When I am not teaching, my favorite place to be is outside: hiking, camping, skiing, snowshoeing, hunting, fishing, or simply enjoying the sounds and sights of nature. I was born and raised on an island in Maine and feel like I still have saltwater running through my blood. I try to get to Maine every summer to see my family and spend some time in the fresh, salty air.
I live with my husband John and our cat Camo. My adult daughter, Sam, lives in Westminster and we get together every week for family dinner and game night.
I am looking forward to partnering with you this school year!

I have been teaching at Warder Elementary since 2005. I student taught at Warder and never left! I love our Warder family and consider it an honor to get to work with all of you!
I am a Colorado native and a Jeffco graduate. I went to Regis University and have my masters degree from Lesley University in Massachusetts. I am passionate about continuing to learn and grow as a teacher and a professional.
I have two awesome kiddos. Luke and Mary Grace are both Jeffco students as well and are my "why" for how I choose to teach all kids.
You can find us in the mountains enjoying all the beauty our state has to offer, on the baseball diamond, soccer field, tennis or basketball court.
I am looking forward to collaborating with all of you this school year!!

This is my first year teaching at Warder Elementary school! I graduated in December of 2023 from the University of Northern Colorado with my Bachelors in Elementary Education with a minor in performance and visual arts. I am so excited to begin my teaching career at such an amazing school!
I am a Southern California girl and I moved to Colorado for school when I was 18. Aside from teaching, my other passion in life is musical theater! I started doing theater when I was 6, and eventually found my love for teaching through being a musical theater camp instructor as a teenager. When I am not teaching, you can still find me occasionally performing in musicals throughout Colorado!
Some of my favorite things include Disney (especially Disneyland), Dr. Pepper, Italian food, going to the beach, Chili's (the best restaurant in the whole world), and my wonderful partner Chris!
I'm looking forward to collaborating with you all to make this the best school year ever!!
