I just love teaching third graders! The 2024-2025 will be my twenty third year teaching in LPS. This is my third year at Runyon and I was at Twain for twenty years.
Third grade is where learners use all their skills they learned in K-2 and apply it to higher level thinking skills. I feel that it is incredible to see each kiddo grow as a learner each day. I truly believe that all kids are special and have something unique to contribute to every classroom and society!
I grew up attending Littleton Public Schools. I attended; Franklin, Powell and Heritage High School. It is truly an incredible district and community. I received my Undergraduate Degree at Colorado State University and then my Master's Degree at the University of Colorado at Denver.
I have a daughter who is at Colorado State University and my son is at Heritage High School. We have one dog who is a rescue named Nash. As a family, we enjoy playing and watching soccer, running, hiking, camping, biking, reading, traveling and playing sports.
