Salutations! I'm excited to call Kruse my teaching home. I look forward to the learning adventures that await the group of explorers this year.
I am originally from Nebraska, and after graduating with my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and Special Education, I moved to Austin, TX. In 2012, I moved to Fort Collins and have enjoyed growing my roots in Northern Colorado. My husband, Casey, and I built our home, a tiny house, from the trailer up. Our home, Country Squire, is parked in the grasslands and I get to wake up with the sun and fall asleep to the stars. We have two Australian Cattle Dogs, Hendrix who is 15, and Ophelia who is 8.
I have worked with a variety of children spanning across many ages in a variety of educational settings. I look forward to growing as an educator as I begin my work with PSD. I'm currently enrolled at UNC working towards my master's degree in Early Childhood Special Education.
In my free time, I enjoy mindful movement, yoga, paddleboarding, water activities, traveling, camping, attending concerts, spending time with family and friends, reading, painting/making art, face painting, and being outdoors to watch the beauty unfold.
Please reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or celebrations.

This is Lee's second year working in a preschool classroom. They earned their bachelor's in psychology and art in 2021. They are applying to graduate programs to be a child psychologist. When not in the classroom, Lee loves to draw, play video games, and spend time with their cat, The Admiral.
