The 2024-2025 school year marks my 19th year in public education.  One of those years was my student teaching at a middle school in Boulder, and all the others have been at Arapahoe.  I also attended AHS as a teenager and graduated in 2003.  So yes, if you are doing the math, I have spent about half my life attending or working at AHS...Go Warriors! 

Outside of work I enjoy hiking, skiing, reading, watching sports, and projects around the house. My entire immediate family lives locally, so I am fortunate to be able to spend time with them often.

I teach because I was inspired by many wonderful teachers in my life, and decided to pursue the profession as I entered college.  I believe in the value of strong public schools and their importance in empowering individuals and serving the community.  I see education as a collaborative process with families, students, and colleagues.  I believe that collaboration fosters the best outcomes for all students, and I believe all students can experience success.
