I am a Colorado native.  Having been born and raised in the scenic mountain town of Gunnison, I learned to ski when I was three years old.  By third grade, I knew I wanted to be an elementary school teacher.  I am an only child with wonderfully supportive parents.  I enjoy paddle boarding, mountain biking, walks in the Colorado sunshine and spending time with my friends and family.  In May of 2013, I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies Elementary Teaching.  One of the reasons I want to dedicate my life to teaching is because I believe that a quality education is the key that unlocks goals, dreams and aspirations.  I completed my student teaching at Harold S. Winograd K-8 School with former second grade teacher Mrs. Smith.  I am thrilled to be a part of the Winograd team!
