Hello students and family! I was born in Ames, Iowa but came to Colorado when I was in Kindergarten. I went through Poudre School District and I am lucky to be able to teach here.Â
I started my career out of college as an athletic trainer for Colorado State University. I was lucky to be able to take care of Div. I athletes and travel with the teams. I came to teaching later in life but I feel very privileged to have had two jobs that I don't consider jobs. GO RAMS!Â
I love to bike with friends and family. I usually ride and/or play pickleball every day during the summer. I also love to ski, read, play volleyball, dance and play Pickleball and hang with my pood, Lolls.Â
The thing that I love most about teaching are the students themselves and the relationships that I develop with those kiddos. They are very precious to me! I believe that having fun while you are learning is vital to helping students learn. I look forward to a great year as I start my 15th year here at Bethke!Â
