I consider myself a Colorado native being born here, moving as an infant to North Dakota, and then returning before my freshman year of high school. By attending South High School, I am a proud Denver Public Schools graduate! After high school I moved to Greeley to attend the University of Northern Colorado, receiving my degree in Speech Communication with an emphasis in Elementary Education. Three years later I attained my Master's Degree through the University of Colorado in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in literacy. Five years ago I earned my principal license, but am not quite ready to leave the classroom yet. Teaching is my passion. I love the excitement of the classroom and the eagerness to learn. This is my thirteenth year teaching; my eleventh at Steck. This year is my second year teaching second grade, previously teaching fifth grade. I am enthusiastic about challenging second graders through math, social studies, and science this year.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy being outdoors. I love camping, hiking, and biking with my family. In the summer months we spend a lot of time at the pool and I enjoy gardening in my backyard. When it is not so warm outside, I love reading and playing games. We often have our extended family over to our home for game night.
