Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!
Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!
I'm thrilled to be teaching third grade at Elk Creek Elementary! This will be my tenth year teaching for Jeffco Public Schools and my eighth year teaching at Elk Creek. I received a Master of Arts in Education from Metropolitan State University and a Bachelor of Music from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Prior to teaching elementary education, I taught music as well as enjoyed directing the Elk Creek Choir for several years.

Third grade is a fun year! We will explore the life cycle of butterflies, Colorado geography, Native American culture, multiplication & division, and much more. The connection between reading and writing will be an important part of our learning.
