This is my fourth year at Ranch View Middle School! Before joining the Ranch View community, I spent three years teaching next door at ThunderRidge High School. Ranch View has become especially meaningful to me because all three of my children attended middle school here and went on to graduate from ThunderRidge High School.

My oldest daughter graduated from Penn State and is beginning her fourth year in a Ph.D. program at Oregon State University this fall. My son graduated from Montana State University in May 2025 and made the most of all that the Montana outdoors had to offer. He is moving to Charleston, South Carolina, to begin his career as a firefighter. My youngest daughter took a gap year after high school and worked as an Educational Assistant in a Bridge Program in Lone Tree. She will continue pursuing her dream of becoming a special education teacher at the University of Northern Colorado, where she will be a junior this fall.

When I'm not at school, I love spending time with family and friends, practicing yoga, reading, and enjoying all the incredible opportunities Colorado has to offer. I feel very fortunate to call this community home and am excited to continue being part of the Ranch View family!
