Hi! I'm Mrs. Parson!  This is my 20th year of teaching and my 19th year here at Swanson.  My favorite thing about Swanson is the community. I enjoy getting to know my students and their families.  I love the connections that I am able to make that last a lifetime.

I’m an Arvada native and the roots are deep.  I went to Fitzmorris Elementary, Arvada Middle School, and Arvada West High School. My husband, Jason, and I are enjoying raising our “spicy” little girl Alexis who loves competitive swimming and is starting third grade here at Swanson.  She fills our days with lots of smiles and non-stop laughter. I am an avid reader and gardener. We enjoy camping, going to Rockies games, and never miss a Mammoth (indoor lacrosse) game.  We also have a dog named Jameson who thinks he owns the world.

My classroom is an active place where exploring and learning about ourselves is just as important as the content we are learning.  I come to work each day looking forward to the moments when new things begin to "click" for my students. I am a lifelong learner myself and value being able to pass along the love of learning to all of my students.
