1st Grade
Hello Carson families! I have been privileged to be a part of this amazing community as a parent and I am so excited to take on the new opportunity of teaching 1st grade! I discovered my passion for teaching in middle school where I taught a preschool program while working in an in-home daycare. I later taught dance to young kids during my high school years and again as an adult. I have a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of Northern Colorado and have received my cultural and linguistic certification. After college, I taught toddlers, preschool and kindergarten at a Goddard and Primrose school. Most recently, I taught kindergarten in Aurora Public Schools for four years. I’m a mom to three boys; our oldest will be a 2nd grader and our middle will be a kindergartner here at Carson this fall. I am a Colorado native, an avid yogi and lover of dance, sports, hiking, gardening, reading and coffee.
