I received both my Master’s in Curriculum Instruction and BS in Human Resource Management at Colorado Christian University. My interest is to live each day to its fullest and to bring joy to others when and wherever possible.

This is my 5th year teaching. Before coming to McGlone I was teaching in Rwanda for 2 years with the Peace Corps. I returned to the US during COVID and began teaching at a charter school in Aurora. I have 2 dogs, Oliver and Odin, and a small embroidery business on the side.

While I am technically a native of Denver, I grew up in Idaho. I love outdoor activities like camping and fishing, as well as being snuggled up indoors with a good book or cooking for my friends and family. I went to the University of Denver for my undergrad in Spanish and international studies but graduated from Relay School of Education for my Master’s. I have been at McGlone for the last 6 years and worked as a math fellow, paraprofessional, and now homeroom teacher. I love our McGlone family!
