Hi! It is great to be here at Trail Ridge Middle School! I am the physical education teacher and one of the golf coaches. This is my fifth year serving the students and community at Trail Ridge. I grew up in Longmont and played sports throughout my childhood, including three sports in high school. I started my college career at CSU-Pueblo, where I studied physical education and was a member of the baseball team. I then transferred to the University of Northern Colorado and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education. In 2021, I received my  Master of Arts degree in Leadership for Educational Organizations from the University of Colorado, Denver. I currently work as a DVSport Replay Technician at the University of Northern Colorado and Colorado State University. In my spare time, I like to spend time with my fantastic family, go to sporting events, golf, and participate in outdoor activities. I believe that children are a gift and possess diverse talents and capabilities. I consider it a privilege to help facilitate their learning and academic growth.
