I grew up in Lyons, Colorado, and graduated from Sterling College in Kansas, where I played softball. I have since taught second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth grade. This will be my first year teaching at Soaring Heights, and my eleventh year teaching overall. I love sports and have coached middle school boys and girls basketball and led clubs like flag football and yearbook.

Personally, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Chandler, and 16-month-old daughter, Ani. I love my family, travel, the beach, snorkeling, The Green Bay Packers and hiking.
