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 and 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 so I went right back for my masters. My masters 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 and we are expecting another little girl, Eloise. 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!
