Hi! I'm Miss Nancy, thanks for visiting! Allow me to share a bit about myself.
I'm originally from La Junta, Colorado but moved around- A LOT as a kid. My family eventually landed in Vermont, where I spent the majority of my teenage years, but I always knew I'd return to Colorado one day. What can I say, I love the tall mountains and sunshine too much!
As far as my academic career goes, I attended the College of Southern Maryland, earning an Associate’s Degree in Humanities, before transferring to Fort Lewis College in 2008, where I received a bachelor's degree in Gender/Women’s Studies & U.S. History. In 2019, I completed my Master’s Degree in Education and hold secondary licensures in Social Studies and English Language Arts. Last year, I'm excited to say, I completed my 200-hour Yoga Instructor Certification and am eager to bring my love of yoga into school!
Lastly, I want to share why I love teaching 7th- grade so much, and it boils down to the fact that I LOVE history, literature, and watching students make connections to the past or what they're reading. Like most of the teachers here at Mountain Middle, I enjoy being outdoors and exploring the wilderness whenever possible. My favorite things to do include snowboarding, mountain biking, reading, gardening, yoga, and hiking.
