This is my 19th year of teaching in Jeffco and 6th year at Falcon Bluffs.  Some of my favorite things to do are to read a great book on my back patio, play games with my family, take a walk with my dogs, or to watch something funny on the TV.  My husband, Doug and I have 2 children, Sarah and Jeremy.  Sarah is a substitute teacher for Jeffco while working on her dancing career.  Jeremy is a behavioral therapist for children with autism.  We have 3 dogs (Tia, Tinkerbell, & Franco), 1 tortoise (Freddy), and 1 cat (Milly).  I have lived in PA, OH, FL, TN, and CO but have traveled to almost all 50 states.  I would love some day to live on a beach in SC where I can walk each day to collect shells and see the sunrise over the ocean.

My favorite subject to teach is SS.  I enjoy learning about history and sharing my learning with others.  I am also a visual learner.  Therefore, I think it is very important to see and experience what we learn.  I plan tours for students that connect to our SS learning.  I hope that you will join me on one of the tours this year.  We are traveling to Peru (over spring break) and Washington, DC, Philadelphia, & NY (at the end of the school year).  See the Travel Opportunities tab for more information!
