About Me:

I am so excited to teach 4th grade math this year! This is my second year at Colfax, but my third year in DPS. I am a Colorado native and currently live with my husband, two stepchildren and two dogs. I got my masters in elementary education from the University of Colorado in 2020 and my bachelor’s in science from the University of Oregon in 2016. I love math and can’t wait to have fun this year with 4th grade! 

Cuarto grado

¡Estoy muy emocionada de enseñar matemáticas de cuarto grado este año! Este es mi segundo año en Colfax pero mi tercer año en DPS. Soy nativa de Colorado y actualmente vivo con mi esposo, dos hijastros y dos perros. Obtuve mi maestría en educación primaria de la Universidad de Colorado en 2020 y mi licenciatura en ciencias de la Universidad de Oregón en 2016. ¡Me encantan las matemáticas y no puedo esperar para divertirme este año con los estudiantes de cuarto grado!

About Me:

I am so excited to be the fourth grade literacy and social studies  teacher at Colfax this school year! This is my third year at Colfax, and I am so grateful to be part of this amazing community. I was born in Colorado, but grew up in Johns Creek, Georgia. I moved back to Colorado seven years ago to attend college at the University of Colorado Boulder where I graduated with my elementary education license and a bachelors in Sociology. I am currently pursuing my masters in Math and Science Curriculum and Instruction from CU Boulder. Some of my favorite things are being outside, reading a good book, and seeing a pretty sunset!

Classroom Wish List:

Sound proof headphones, chapter books
