About Me

This is my 6th year at Wayne Carle, all as 6th grade social studies and I have really enjoyed my time here in this community.  This year I will be teaching one class of 7th grade. I love History and all things social studies.  I have a fantastic daughter named Vivienne, a cat named Jazzy and a dog named Sampson.  I love doing things outside like hiking, stand up paddle boarding, basketball, soccer, golf, biking and much more.  I also just like hanging out and watching movies, Netflix or playing video games.  I love sports and a huge fan of the Denver Broncos, Rockies, Avalanche and Nuggets (World Champs!).  I graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder (Psychology) and Metropolitan State University of Denver (History).  I look forward to meeting students and parents and getting to know you.  Can't wait for a great year!
