  I taught 6th grade in Missoula, Montana for a year, moved home to New Jersey and taught for one year before moving to Sumatra, Indonesia to teach English to High School aged children.  Later I moved back to the east coast and taught children who were on Broadway Musicals and on the Disney Channel as well as several movies.  In my spare time I love to mountain bike, ski, fly fish, travel and go birding with Robin Hoover and Kathy Steinbaugh! I volunteer at the Birds of Prey Foundation in the ICU working with sick or injured raptors. I also volunteer and travel with People to People Student Ambassadors. I have lived and taught in New Jersey, New York, Montana, California, Sumatra, and England before settling down in Colorado in 2001.

  As an alumnus of BCD it is very exciting to come back as a teacher. Before coming here I spent two years in the training and development department of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. It is a joy being back in Boulder, as I love to hike and camp with my dogs. In the winter I also enjoy teaching kids to ski and watching the Toronto Maple Leafs play hockey!

  Bio
  As a Colorado native, I spent my childhood playing outside and climbing trees. Prior to teaching at BCD I lived in Los Angeles from 2008 -2016; where I taught a variety of middle school subjects including math and science. I consider myself an adventurer and enjoy traveling to new places, meeting new people, and eating new foods. After leaving LA in the summer of 2016 I traveled to Europe and Central America for six months before returning to Colorado. As a teacher, I love to engage students by getting them excited about new content and asking thoughtful questions that have them go deeper into topics that interest them.  I am excited to join the BCD community and am happy to be back in Colorado.

  Prior to teaching at BCD , I taught in public and private, urban and suburban middle schools for 16 years in California. I have taught almost every subject but my specialty is science where I have held several leadership roles. When not in the classroom, I spend as much time as possible exploring the outdoors. I love animals, nature, gardening, watching my sons play ice hockey, and my daughter ride horses.
