A Little About Me:

I am so excited about the third year at Black Rock Elementary, especially teaching one of my favorite grades: 5th! I have been a teacher since 1992. I started out my first five years as a middle school teacher in California. Then I took almost ten years off to be home with my kids. I have a son, Reid who is a freshman at CSU, and a daughter, Madison, who is a freshman at Niwot High School. I loved the chance to be home with my family full time. In the 2007 I went back to teaching as the Gifted and Talented Teacher at Eagle Crest Elementary. In 2008 I moved to Erie Elementary as a fourth grade teacher. Then in 2009 Black Rock Elementary opened and I was teaching 4th and 5th grade in brand new, beautiful school! I love the Black Rock community and I am so happy to have found a home. I have always enjoyed working with technology, so I am currently working on my Master's Degree in Curriculum Integration Through Technology. I will be diligently working to integrate technology into all areas of the curriculum. Though I am busy with work and my own school, I spend lots of time with my kids and husband hiking, gardening, hanging out at the barn with Madison, and skiing in our beautiful state of Colorado. I know this is going to be a year of growth and learning for both the students and me!
