Hello reader! 

This is my 7th year at Parker Core Knowledge. I was a previous high school electives teacher for 2 years and taught subjects ranging from Student Council, French, Journalism, to Technology, Photography, etc. I have a B.A. in Letters, a degree that focuses on literature, writing, history, and languages. I learned French, Arabic, and Latin. I also have a M.A. in Elementary Education and a Publishing Certificate. 

Currently I am one of the homeroom teachers in 5th grade, teaching Language Arts, Grade Level Math, and Science.  I  am passionate about student growth and sparking individual curiosity in the world around us. I cannot wait to start this year with your student and help them wonder about the world around them.  

A little bit more about me:: my husband, Micah and I currently live in Centennial with our two cats, Guster and Spencer, and our dog, Dovah. We have a baby boy named Gideon who loves peek-a boo and smiling. For fun I love to hike, camp, fish, write, draw, paint, read, and of course, watch a good movie. I am also a proud Colorado native!
