I am so happy to be one of the Gifted and Talented Facilitators at Stone Mountain Elementary.  I look forward to working with students to help them reach their highest potential.  I have been in education for 30+ years.  I have taught grades second through eighth in a variety of capacities including gifted and talented.  

I was born in Michigan and lived there until after graduating from Western Michigan University with my teaching certificate.  Then I moved to California where I earned my Masters Degree and met my husband.  In 2005, we moved our family to colorful Colorado!  We have two children.  Our son, Luke, is a senior at the University of Denver and our daughter, Leah, is a school social worker.

As a family we enjoy cooking, playing games, hiking, traveling, and attending sporting events.  I also enjoy kayaking, gardening, shopping, relaxing on my deck, and spending time with friends and family.
