I am super excited to serve as a Teaching Partner for Harmony Ridge K8! I am a Colorado native, Go Broncos! Growing up I went to all APS schools, graduating from Hinkley High School. I then graduated from Metropolitan State College of Denver with a BA in English. After all of the amazing teachers that I had growing up, I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher myself. I have been a teacher in APS since 2004. During that time I have taught kindergarten, first grade, second grade, and also been a reading interventionist. I have found joy in supporting teachers in bringing equitable, standards based lessons to the classroom in my role as a teaching partner. I look forward to building strong relationships and contributing to our Harmony Ridge community.
In my free time, I love spending time with my husband, twin boys and daughter. We love enjoying all the amazing outdoor adventures that Colorado has to offer. During the summer we love to hike, camp, swim and paddle board in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. We are huge football fans and love to travel to other states to enjoy the game. When I am at home I enjoy curling up with a good book and a vanilla latte!
