I grew up in Colorado and have lived in 5 states. I graduated from the University of Colorado with a B.A. in Geology. I earned my Masters of Arts in Teaching at the University of Northern Kentucky.
I have worked in the environmental consulting industry, a microbiology research lab and in pharmaceutical research before discovering teaching. I love teaching middle school kids because they can behave like adults and have the curiosity of a child. They like to actively learn and enjoy using skills to solve real life problems.
When I am not at school, you might see me around town on my road bike. I also love to mountain bike,ski, read, watch movies and hang out with my family. I have two kids; Layla who is 7 and Quinton who is 10. I love being outside and hope to get you all outside this year!
