  I have been teaching for 15 years at various grade levels, most recently in Hawaii. I truly enjoy spending time with my family and attending my children's sporting events.

  Bio
  I spent the last two years teaching kindergarten in Adams 14 School District. Prior to that, I completed my teaching license program and student teaching through the Friend’s School in Boulder. One of my favorite things about teaching is watching the “aha!” moments kids get when they finally master a skill. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking with my dogs, baking, gardening and spending time with my family. I am so excited to be a part of the BCD family!

  Bio
  After growing up in a household of teachers and attending a Country Day School from junior kindergarten to twelfth grade, I had no doubt in my mind that I wanted to be a teacher! I studied education at Colorado College and then landed at Graland Country Day School in Denver, where I pursued my MAT. During my time at Graland I spent time in both kindergarten and first grade. I am thrilled to be teaching second grade at such a wonderful school in beautiful Boulder! Outside of the classroom, you can find me on the ski slopes after I’ve watered my plants and drank mugs of coffee.

  My favorite things about living in Boulder are the people, sunshine, and mountains. Prior to teaching at BCD, I taught first grade at Harding Academy in Nashville, Tennessee for six years. Before that I taught in North Ridgeville City Schools in Ohio for five years. When I am not teaching, you can most likely find me spending time outside with my family. I enjoy hiking, exploring, and anything to do with water.
