Personal Interests
My perfect day would include reading a good book in a hammock in the aspen trees. I love to learn and try new hobbies. I especially enjoy quilting and traveling with my family.
Education Philosophy
I believe that effective student growth is possible when educators are supported, valued, and encouraged to grow professionally. Investing in teachers is one of the most effective ways to improve student outcomes. A teacher’s professional growth has a lasting, positive impact not only on their current students but on every student they will teach in the future. I love to support teachers in creating a safe and engaging learning environment to foster growth for their students.
