Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! This is my 20th year teaching and my first year at Euclid. Previously, I taught at Runyon and Highland Elementary. This is my 12th year in LPS after beginning my teaching career in Douglas County School District at Northridge Elementary. I grew up here in Littleton and attended Littleton Public Schools. I earned my Undergraduate Degree and teaching credentials at Metro State University, with a degree in Behavior Studies and a minor in Psychology. Shortly after that, I earned my Master's Degree at Lesley University in Curriculum and Instruction. I coached volleyball at Heritage and basketball at West Middle School in Cherry Creek during this time. I am currenlty coaching at Elevation Volleyball Club. I enjoy playing volleyball, hiking, reading, and swimming in any hot spring. I love all the Denver sports teams and feel I am very good at fantasy football (like most people who do fantasy football). I have a dog named Mikko. I adopted him when the Avalanche won the Stanley Cup, so Mikko is named after my favorite Avalanche player, Mikko Rantanen. I look forward to this school year!!!
