I am thrilled to the Digital Teacher Librarian (DTL) at Marshdale Elementary. I was born and raised in Southern California. I went to Oregon State University and got my degree in Forest Management. We moved to Colorado ten years ago, and I began my journey into the education field. I earned my Masters in Education from Western Governors University and Library Endorsement through CU Denver.
I taught 2nd & 3rd grade in Jeffco before transitioning into the DTL role. I love getting to work with ALL students and find ways to inspire students to read and expand their technology knowledge.
Each class has a weekly library time that consists of a lesson and check out time. Classes will focus on literacy aspects, computer science, digital citizenship, and STEM.
Thank you for supporting the Marshdale Fall Book Fair! We apprecaite your generosity and overwhelkming support for enriching literacy. Proceeds from the fair will go towards new books and resources for the library and STEM Lab.
Our next book fair will be in the fall around conferences.

Excellence in education requires that technology is seamlessly integrated throughout the educational curricula. Increasing access to technology enriches the curriculum and empowers students to maximize their full potential.
Students are a part of a 1:1 Chromebook environment where Chromebooks are available for each student to use in the classroom.
Digital tools are used to supplement instruction and enrich learning. When evaluating tools for classroom use, student data privacy is a prime concern. Marshdale Elementary follows the Student and Data Privacy guidelines put forth by the Jefferson County School Board and the Colorado Department of Education.
The Data Privacy & Security page on the district website describes safeguards taken by Jeffco Schools to support data security operations
You can view the Jeffco Digital Tools Page for ALL vetted tools/sites.
