Biography

Welcome! I am a widow and a mother of 2 children. My daughter is living her best life in California as CEO of her own COVID Compliance company, Script Supervisor, and independent Film Producer, and my son is pursuing a life as a golfer and Assistant Superintendent of a Golf Course. I have a highly energetic 2 year and a 4 year old Corgis, Eragon and Ein, that keeps me on my toes. Over my 29 years in education, I have mainly taught 1st-5th grades, with teaching summer school for grades 6-12. Currently, as the Instructional Media/Technology/CTE-STEM, teacher at Aurora Frontier K-8. I teach students 5-8 and co-teach/coach grades K-4. For 10 years I worked in a dominate ELL school with grades K-5 with Spanish being the dominate non-English Language. I also work with many refugee students from Africa and Asian students. As I have developed as a teacher, of Middle School students, I have recognized the need for students to connect their learning to real world experiences. This connection has lead me to add a CTE-STEM certification to my endorsements so that I would be able to focus on purposeful integration of STEM and real world careers into student learning and experiences.

Learning to Integrate technology across the curriculum has led me to share my learning and passion for technology and Second Language Learners to presenting on a variety of topics and earned recognition and training certifications. See my resume for additional details.
