I received my B.A. in Human Development and Elementary Education from Metro State University. I then received my Director’s license from ACC. I spent many years as a teacher and director of various preschools before joining PTAA as a third grade teacher. I am very excited to be working in first grade with my amazing team!

I have a strong belief in Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences, which tells us that everyone is good at something. I’d be happy to discuss this educational philosophy any time. I often incorporate art, song, ASL, and physical movement into my teaching to help students understand the curriculum in a variety of ways.
