I have been teaching Language Arts at Hidden Lake High School for the past 7 years and continue to love every minute of  it. I graduated from the University of Colorado Denver with a B.A. in English Literature and Secondary Education Licensure. I did my student teaching at Aurora Central High School and North Middle School. I recently graduated from Regis University with a M.A. degree in education. I live in Northglenn with my husband, our daughters Autumn and Sydney, and our dog Harley.

I have taken many paths to get to the road that I am on, and will always continue to take the road less traveled because I have found that that road always helps shape who I am. I believe that anything worth having in life takes dedication and hard work to achieve it. When I graduated from college I wanted to work in a school like Hidden Lake, but I that could get my dream job so quickly.  I am truly honored to be working with such amazing people and students. My goal is to help our students become aware of the world around them by engaging in discussions, reading texts, looking at current events, and writing effectively. The things we read and write about will help them connect to life, become a lifelong learner, and figure out who they are as an individual.

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” Harriet Tubman
