Biography:

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." -Dalai Lama
I have lived in Colorado since 1987, moving from St. Louis, MO. I began my teaching career in BVSD in 1993, and then moved to New Delhi, India in 2000, where my husband and I taught for four years. My son, husband, and I love to spend time doing anything outdoors. Colorado is the perfect place for us!

Biography:

I cannot be more excited to be joining the Fireside family! I spent the first 12 years of my teaching career at Bear Creek Elementary teaching 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th grade. After a brief stint at a small health care company, I missed the teaching profession and taught 3rd at St. Mary’s Academy two years ago and 3rd at Dawson School last year.

I grew up in the Summit County area and love everything outdoors. During the winter months, you can find me skiing at A-Basin with my daughter or getting out in the backcountry. During the summer months, we love to camp, fish, and mountain bike. I live in Louisville with my wife, daughter Lucy (who is 10), and Winnie the Golden Retriever.

Biography:
"The point of a journey is not to arrive, the point of departure is not to return."
I have had the pleasure of teaching at Fireside for 14 amazing years and I'm looking forward to 14 more! I'm a Colorado native and a graduate of both Fairview High School (class of 88') and Regis University. After graduating high school, I spent 5 years in the Air Force followed by nearly two decades in the service industry before being drawn into the 'family business', TEACHING. My dad was a principal in BVSD for more than 30 years and my mom taught as well! I joined the profession in 2010 and haven't looked back since.
I have two grown sons, Grant (20) is in his third year of film school in North Carolina and Max (17) is starting his senior year at Centaurus. Together we enjoy skiing, concerts and lots of movies. When I'm not teaching or hanging out with them I really enjoy spending time with my partner listening to old fashioned vinyl records, cooking and watching silly game shows. I consider myself so lucky to be a part of the Fireside Community as well as the Louisville Community.
