I am originally from Dayton, Ohio. I moved to Denver, Colorado in 2002 and started teaching at Aurora Public Schools until 2008. I then moved abroad and taught at International Schools in Zug, Switzerland and Brasilia, Brazil. I moved back to Denver in 2014 and started working at Swigert as a 4th grade teacher. I live in Washington Park with my boyfriend, Nate and 3 pets, Teddy, Abby, and Goose. I enjoy gardening, cooking, spending time in the mountains, and being around my loved ones!
