• Living our Values!  Living our Values!  This year I am focusing on JOY.  I want to find JOY in our learning and JOY in our interactions with each other.  I want to be joyful and focus on gratitude for all we have and for how far these kids have already come.  That is something to celebrate!
• Bio: I was born in Frankfurt, Germany and moved often growing up due to my dad’s military service, eventually settling in Texas. I knew I wanted to be a teacher from a young age—I used to make my younger siblings play school with me (with six of us, it was almost a real class!). I graduated from the University of Houston and began teaching 5th grade and Intervention in Houston before moving to Denver in 2010. Two years ago, I earned my Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction, proudly celebrated with a cake from my amazing 4th graders!
• Hobbies: I love to spend time with my family.  I have 3 kids ages 18, 16, and 12, so I keep very busy outside of my school day with kids sports and activities. I often see my Bromwell Bears at various sporting events and games.I LOVE to read and explore new places.  If I can’t get there on a plane I’ll go there in my mind through books!
