I have been teaching Science at Preston for 24 years and have loved every minute of it! I live in Loveland with my husband, who owns a bicycle store, and we have two young adult sons.

I graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Biology, and the University of Northern Colorado with a masters degree in Interdisciplinary Education.

About my Classroom
I believe that learning science should be an active and collaborative experience! I like to have my students work on authentic, hands on learning, and I try to incorporate project based lessons frequently. I love getting to know the kids and seeing how science can enrich their lives!
