I am a Colorado native, living most of my life in Denver.  I attended UNC for my undergraduate and graduate work in Elementary Reading.  I am married and we have 6 children, and we just welcomed our first grandbaby this last April.  I have been teaching for 20 years mostly in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades.  I taught at East Memorial 25 years ago for 4 years as a 2/3 Multiage Teacher and a Reading Teacher.  I love being back in this community!!  I enjoy hiking and swimming with my family.  I also enjoy cooking big meals and gathering as a family for the holidays.
