I grew up in Fort Collins, attending PSD schools. I graduated from RMHS in my junior year and I knew I had to get over to UNC and work to become a teacher just like the many that inspired me as a child. I took accelerated classes in the summer so that I could get back into schools working with students and doing what I was passionate about! I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education with a concentration in multicultural studies. I got my first teaching job where I attended elementary school here in PSD! My time at UNC was so inspiring, I went right back for my masters. My master is in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education. I have enjoyed expanding my teaching by taking courses and staying up to date in best practice and strategies!

My husband, Mitchell, and I met in high school and have enjoyed building our life here in Northern Colorado together. We have one daughter together, Adelaide Jane! Becoming a mom has made me a more empathetic and passionate teacher. She has been a joy to watch grow and teaches me so much! We also have 2 dogs, Jasper and Chester. We enjoy spending time together, usually we are out in the beautiful natural areas or patios around Northern Colorado. I also enjoy photography and finding ways to use my creativity!
