Hello and welcome to full day kindergarten! I am so excited to be working with you and your child(ren). I began my teaching career in the Denver Metro area while working on my Master’s Degree in Instruction and Curriculum with an emphasis in ESL. I taught in the Denver area for eight years before moving to Fort Collins. Upon moving to Fort Collins I took a break from teaching for four years and stayed home with my little ones. I returned to teaching when my oldest began kindergarten. I was lucky enough to get the 1/2 day kindergarten position here at Lopez, and be in the same school as my daughter. I have taught both full day and half-day kindergarten as well as 1st grade, 2nd grade, and Title 1 reading. I was also an Instructional Literacy and ESL Coach for one year. This is my sixth year with Poudre School district and I love it!
I love teaching kindergartner! I love how excited and eager they to be at school and to learn new things. I feel very blessed to be able to work and live in the Lopez community and am looking forward to another wonderful school year!
Outside of school I spend my time with my wonderful husband and two children. Both of my children attend Lopez. When we aren't at our home-away-from-home (Lopez), we like to spend our time outdoors hiking, camping, swimming, traveling, biking, and skiing. I also enjoy running, reading, and spending time with my friends.
