Bio

Hello! I am so happy to be a part of the Columbine Elementary community as a 4th grade teacher. I am a part of a big family of teachers, I grew up here in Colorado and have been teaching for 7 years! I believe that teaching is an act of love and I am committed to growing our kids into community leaders, ready to make the world a better place every day.

I live in Loveland with my son, Milo and my husband, Isaiah. We love to garden together, spend time outside with our dog, Rosie, cozy up with a good book or movie with our cat, Dill, and play board games. I also enjoy cooking and baking for loved ones and I like to run and lift weights.

I love to share my classroom with families and to connect with community members. You are welcome to visit our 4th grade classroom of learners and share your story or time with us!
