Bio
I am so excited to be joining the Red Hawk Family this year. This is my first year teaching third grade but my tenth year teaching! I previously taught second grade in Thornton. I was born and raised in Colorado! I went to college at Colorado State University and got my Bachelors Degree in Business Marketing. After working in that field for a year I went back to school to pursue teaching. I now have my Masters in Education and another one in Literacy. When I am not teaching I love to be at the gym working out, laying by the water reading a good book, spending time with my family and friends, and going to concerts. This summer I got a Morkie puppy named Lila, who is filled with spunk! I can't wait for an amazing school year!
