I have been a teacher for 23 years and all of that has been spent in grades k-3. I love inspiring young minds and getting them excited about books. When I'm not in the classroom you will find me either on a trail or camping with my doodle dogs, or in a kayak on the river. And on rainy days or lazy days, I'm curled up on the couch with a cup of tea and a great book. I'm not a Colorado native, but this is absolutely home. I love Monroe and all our families and I can't wait to get the new year started.
