I graduated from the University of Idaho and have been teaching since 1994. I began my career teaching middle school English in Boise, Idaho, before moving to Colorado. After seven years at Frederick High School, I joined the Silver Creek community in 2008. Both of my children are proud Silver Creek graduates, so this school holds a special place in my heart! When I'm not in the classroom, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, and taking long walks with my dog, Apollo.
