Biography

​After relocating from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I have been proud to call Colorado home for the past ten years. My career in education began as a paraprofessional with Denver Public Schools, where I had the opportunity to work on a campus centered on trauma-informed education. This experience deepened my understanding of the importance of creating supportive, inclusive learning environments and strengthened my commitment to serving students. A lifelong interest in history ultimately inspired me to pursue teaching, and I earned my teaching degree from Metropolitan State University of Denver. I am particularly passionate about helping students engage with history as a way to better understand the people, events, and ideas that have shaped our world. I am excited to begin my second year teaching at Eagle Ridge Academy, where I look forward to continuing to grow as an educator, fostering curiosity and critical thinking, and helping students develop a meaningful appreciation for the study of history and the world around them.
