I was born in Illinois and  my family moved to Colorado when I was 18 months old.  I grew up in the mountains in Coal Creek Canyon and attended a super small mountain school in Jefferson County. 

     I graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder with my bachelor's degree in Geography and a licensure in Elementary Education.  My favorite classes were my Sign Language classes!

     My favorite colors are bright pink and green, as you can see from my classroom!  I also love sparkly things and SpongeBob SquarePants! 

     It is my second year teaching and I absolutely love it!  I had such a wonderful experience during my first year of teaching and I am so excited to be back!

     First graders are my favorite and I can't wait for a great year with you and your kids!
