I have been teaching for 11 years and proudly hold my National Board Certification. I obtained my teaching license from the University of Alabama—Roll Tide! In addition to teaching I also work at Amplify, training and supporting classroom teachers in implementing Amplify CKLA in their classrooms. I am originally from Orange County, California and have been part of the wonderful Denver community for the past 4 years.

I absolutely love learning and strive to share that passion with my students. When I’m not in the classroom, I love to stay active and enjoy the great outdoors. You might find me snowboarding, skiing, hiking, camping, rollerblading, paddleboarding, or traveling to new places. I also cherish my time in a book club where I can dive into great stories. At home, I have a sweet 6-year-old calico cat named Winnie who is a phenomenal puzzle buddy.

I’m excited about the adventures and learning experiences we will share this year!

I am from Montreal, Canada, and I am native French speaker. I have been happy to call Colorado my home since 2010. I have taught at the elementary level for the past 14 years. I have a M.Sc. in Sociology as well as an endorsement in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education. I am a lifelong learner and I long to share my learning passion with my students. This is my fifth year at Carson and I feel so lucky to work with this amazing community!

In my free time, I like spending family time with my husband Mike and our two boys Felix and William. I enjoy running, hiking, reading, and traveling.

I grew up in a suburb west of Chicago (River Forest), and moved to Boulder to go to CU for my undergrad. I have since graduated from DU and UND with additional degrees. The 2024-2025 school year will be my 23rd year teaching and I am passionate about instilling a love of learning in my students and making school fun. At home I have a wonderful husband, Kris, and 2 beautiful kiddos that make me smile and laugh on a daily basis. Outside of school I love spending my time in Steamboat visiting my mom, exercising, and attempting to keep up with my energetic kids. Please come say hello, I’d love to introduce myself in person! Looking forward to a great year!
