Hello!  And a big, warm welcome to Kindergarten!

This is my 21st year teaching in LPS.  I love learning and serving others, and I can’t wait to work with our youngest foxes as they start their path of life long learning.   I graduated from the University of Colorado (Go Buffs!) with degrees in English and Political Science, but soon went back for my teaching degree and obtained my Masters in Elementary Mathematics.  I have also earned my National Board Certification in Literacy, and I have a specialists certification in Gifted and Talented education.  I just really like learning!

I love being part of the community at Dr. Justina Ford. We have the opportunity to set the path for students to thrive.   Each Kindergarten classroom has a special mascot, and our classroom will be accompanied by Elephant & Piggie!

I have a daughter who attends Heritage High School, and spending time with her is my favorite thing ever.  I also love time with my extended family, great friends, and my silly and giant dog named Chaco.  Pickleball is my favorite activity!

Welcome to Ford Elementary. I am so excited to be a part of your child's kindergarten year!
