    We just welcomed our first baby into the world! We have a little dachshund named Charlie that loves to take walks, snuggle, and sleep! I love to travel, read, eat pizza, drink coffee, and spend time with my little family.

    My favorite things about working with students are:
    There are so many things I love about working with kindies! The laughter, the kindness, the "AHA" moments. But, my all time favorite thing is watching them fall in love with learning! When they see themselves as writers, readers, mathematicians, and leaders, it is everything!
     
    A few interesting things about me:
    My husband and I are both graduates of Cherry Creek School District, and Colorado natives! We have two sweet little girls, Adele and Lydia, who are the most fearless toddlers, and a 2 year old Australian Shepherd, Ove, who is the most energetic puppy!
