About me

I was born and raised right here in Littleton Colorado. I attented Mark Hopkins, Powell and Heritage High School. I Have my BA in Elementary Education with and emphasis in Literacy from Adams State and my MA in Curriculum Development from University of Phoneix. I have always wanted to be a teacher so I really am living my dream. This is my 17 year teaching at Sandburg. I have taught K/1,1,1/2,2. First grade is my favorite as they grow SO much this year. 

I have 4 grown children. They also went through LPS graduating from Arapahoe. My oldest son Cody lived in Indiana with his wife, two dogsand a baby due in September.  My daughter Emily lives here in Centennial with her (baby) Chevy. My son Caleb just moved to Forest Park with his girlfriend. My youngest daughter Erin and Granddaughter Paisley live in Scottsdale AZ. Which in my opinion is much to far way!! Being a grandma has brought me the greatest joy! I also have a little Yorkie named Gizmo. 

I love teaching first grade. It is such a wonderful time to learn, explore, believe in their ability to do or be anything. I feel partnering with you along this journey is important; as you have been their first teacher since birth! Thank for letting me tag along.
