This is my 25th year working in DCSD.  I started working in the BASE program while I was a sophomore in high school.  I entered college with the intent of graduating with a BioMedical degree but it was through working with the Kindergarten Enrichment Program that I discovered my true passion for teaching. In addition to my years in before/after school care and kindergarten enrichment, I also worked as an educational assistant that worked with Multilingual (ML) students and taught 1st grade for 12 years.  This will be my 19th year teaching and I cannot wait to see what this year holds!

 

On a more personal note, I love the outdoors!  During the summer, I like to camp, hike, fish, play in the lakes and streams... or pretty much anything I can do outside!  During the winter, I enjoy snowboarding and taking my daughter, Cadence (12), and son, Torin (9), skiing.  I enjoy reading and often have a book started as soon as I finish another.  Anything with art has also been a passion of mine.  I find it relaxing to paint, draw, or model something out of clay.  My husband and I have 2 dogs who enjoy the outdoors just as much as we do, if not more.  Each day brings a new set of adventures for us and we love watching how quickly our kids learn and grow!

 

I look forward to working with you and your child to reach his or her educational goals and to develop a passion for life long learning!
