This year I am focused on compassion and how that value is engrained in my life. Showing compassion for my students, their families, and my own, is very important to me, as well as rewarding. I’m incredibly thankful and beyond grateful for the love of my life, Stacy, and her never-ceasing support and caring nature–If your students or you ever step into my room, you will see her creative influence all around.
I have my undergraduate degree in biology and environmental science with concentrations in animal and environmental ecology. I earned my Master of Arts in Teaching and Education from MSU Denver in 2023. In our free time, Stacy and I like to hike, travel, and help out by cleaning up wetland habitats for ecological restoration. Additionally, when time allows, I enjoy writing and creating short stories.
