Hi! I have been a Social Studies teacher at Kinard Core Knowledge Middle School for 19 years and I love my job. I previously taught at Lincoln Middle School here in fort Collins for 3 1/2 years.
I received my Bachelor of Liberal Arts with concentrations in History and Secondary Education from Colorado State University. I received a Master’s Degree in Literacy from the University of Northern Colorado.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family. My husbands name is Jamis Darrow how is a hydraulics engineer at Anderson Consulting here in two and together we have two wonderful daughters, Emma and Sara. Emma is a 10th grader at Fort Collins Highschool and Sara is a 8th grader here at Kinard. We also have an awesome dog named Dodger Hamilton!
When I am is not teaching, as family we like to hike, camp, swim, play video games, travel, read, socialize, and support the CSU Rams and Denver Broncos.
I chose to be a teacher because of my love of kids. I embraced Social Studies because of the cyclical patterns, stories, and lessons that can be learned. My hope to inspire students to be lifelong learners.
