Hi! This is my eighth year at Newton and I am excited to be a part of the Newton community!

I am a Colorado native and received my B.A. in English Literature and Secondary Education at the University of Colorado in Boulder. After graduating, I moved to Austin, TX, where I worked in educational publishing for nine years. I returned to Colorado and received my doctorate in school psychology from the University of Colorado Denver. After completed my internship in Littleton Public Schools, I was overjoyed to be offered a position at Newton, as middle school is (perhaps strangely) where I want to be. I am honored to have the opportunity to work with students in such a transformative time in their lives. 

At Newton, I work primarily with students receiving special education services, though I also offer social-emotional and behavioral support to other students. I provide assessments, consultation to teachers, and counseling. I am also one of Newton's special education department chairs. 

I am married and have 2 adorable cats and 1 sweet little pup. I enjoy running, rock climbing, traveling, and eating out. Ramen and pizza are two of my faves! Please do not hesitate to reach out and say hello!
