4th Grade Teachers
This is my 18th year teaching elementary school. Along with my undergraduate teaching degree, I also have a Master’s degree in Instructional Media as well as a Gifted and Talented Endorsement.
I believe that to meet the needs of my students, I need to have a deep understanding of who each child is.Therefore, I try to spend time at the beginning of each school year getting to know each child socially and academically. As you visit our classroom during the school day, you’ll hear me and the children reflecting and thinking aloud about where we’re going, where we are now, and what we will do today to help us move forward.
I am very passionate about teaching and cannot imagine doing anything else. I got my Master’s Degree in Information Learning & Technologies in 2014. I have been the digital teacher librarian for the last two years here at Sheridan Green Elementary. Last year, I had the opportunity to be a half-time literacy teacher in 5th grade. I am very excited to be back in the classroom once again this year as a full-time 4th grade teacher.
I celebrated my 25th wedding anniversary with my husband, Alan, this summer. We have two adult children, Preston(24) and Anessa(21). We also have two labrador retrievers named Ammo and Beque.
When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time at our cabin in the mountains, walking our dogs, whitewater rafting, and spending time with my family. I also enjoy reading and being a lifelong learner.
I believe that all students can learn while having fun in the classroom. I also believe that I need to meet my students where they are in their learning. It is a priority for me to look at each student as an individual, therefore it is very important to build strong relationships with them.
I am looking forward to a wonderful year teaching your child!

This is my first teaching opportunity, but I have been an employee of Jeffco Public Schools for six years. I am very excited to join the 4th grade team here at Sheridan Green Elementary. I have a dual certification in Elementary and Special Education from Grand Canyon University.
I am a Colorado native. I grew up in Aurora, but have lived in the Westminster-Broomfield area since 2000. I have a 24 year old son who has a 2 1/2 year old son, so my first grandson. I also have a daughter who will be 18 in January and is a senior in high school.
I enjoy doing things with my family and now that I am done with school I can enjoy more time with them. I enjoy hiking, reading, geneology, and scrapbooking.
