Hello, I am excited to be teaching at Marrama this year! I have over twenty years of experience in the field of education. During my career, I have worked as an environmental educator, classroom teacher, evaluator of educational programs, and as an education director for a medical education program. Most recently, I worked as a reading intervention teacher at another DPS school. I love applying the science of reading to teach children how to read and I love watching their growth!
I have a BA In environmental studies (concentration in environmental education) from Warren Wilson College and an MA in educational psychology (emphasis in research and evaluation methods) from the University of Colorado Denver.
I enjoy spending time outside with my husband and our daughter, who is also a DPS elementary student! I also love gardening and reading, preferably with our orange cat purring in my lap.
