I grew up back east, living in Connecticut and upstate New York. I moved to Colorado to attend UNC in 1997. I graduated with a Masters in Special Education: K-12, High Needs Cognitive. I have been teaching for over 25 years. I have taught K-8 th grade in both SSN and resource. I have been in various schools/districts, before settling at Blue Mountain. I have been at Blue Mountain from its first day and it is home to me. I have a strong passion for teaching and love serving my students and their families. I live in Loveland with my husband, Erin, and 2 children. When not at school, I love running, paddle boarding, and spending time with my family.
