I grew up in Fort Collins and I was a Lincoln alumni. I am happily married to a wonderful teacher that also works in northern Colorado. We have 2 sweet chihuahuas named Cinnamon and Sugar. I am so very happy and proud to be back at Lincoln as a teacher. I am a first generation college student. I have had many jobs growing up, like a house painter, forklift operator and a paraprofessional. Teaching is something that  I love. When I went to Lincoln I was fortunate enough to be surrounded by adults that wanted to invest their time and energy to help prepare me for High School and the adult world.
