I have been teaching at Westridge Elementary since 1997. I enjoy learning with my students each day. They are so fun and full of information! We have three classroom Russian Tortoises named Samantha, Hibiscus, and Sequoia.

Kindness has been a rock of mine, my entire life. A few years ago I completed my masters in integrating the arts in the elementary classroom. For my thesis, I created a website for teachers to help them integrate the arts with an emphasis on kindness.

On the first day of school, I explain to my students that we have one rule in our classroom; treat others as you want to be treated. Every year we have a class poster signed by all of the students, and they make their own smaller poster for a bulletin board that stays up all year. I love it when the students notice examples of this in the books we are reading and characters that are not following this rule.

I have been married for 27 years and we have three wonderful children, Eliana 19, Silas 17, and Adyel, 10. We live in the mountains near Conifer. My family and I enjoy hiking, running, and wrestling (my son and husband are the wrestling fans), jumping on our trampolines, and reading. We have two cats, three birds, and lots of dogs!!
