My name is Elizabeth Gonzales and this is my fifth year at the Colorado STEM Academy, but my first year teaching. I was formally the Instructional Assistant and I also student taught here last Spring. I have loved being apart of CSA, and I am so thankful I am able to begin my teaching career here! I completed my K-12 education in Westminster Public Schools and received my Bachelors of Arts in Elementary Education at Regis University. I am currently working on my Masters in Education: Teaching the Linguistically Diverse also at Regis University. 

In my free time, my hobbies include reading, watching TV and/or movies, playing with my dog Bruno, spending time with my family and friends, and traveling. My favorite book I read this summer was A Reaper at The Gates by Sabaa Tahir (young adult fantasy - so good!) and my favorite movie was Hotel Transylvania 3 (I love cartoons). My boyfriend Dominic and I traveled to Negril, Jamaica this summer and it was beautiful! 

I have a passion for literacy and I am excited to share that passion with your students!
