It is my pleasure to be the Principal of Pine Grove and work with outstanding teachers, supportive parents, and most importantly, AWESOME KIDS! Prior to coming to Pine Grove, I taught for 7 years in 1st and 2nd grades in DCSD. Education was my 2nd career as the birth of my triplets changed my life course! I worked in Human Resources for a hotel chain and a telecommunications company before getting my teaching credentials. I’m a proud native of Colorado and I enjoy doing almost anything outdoors in the beautiful Colorado sunshine! Another favorite pastime is reading a good mystery and attending outdoor concerts.

I am excited to be the Assistant Principal at Pine Grove Elementary School. Prior to this position, I have worked for the last 5 years as a Learning Specialist here at PGE and I am starting my 19th year in education. I have taught 1st and the 5th grade as well as worked as an academic and behavior interventionist prior to moving into Special Education. I am a Colorado native and attended elementary school here in Parker as well. I am so excited to get to work with all of the students, staff, and families here at PGE! When I am not at school, my two passions are traveling and photography. It has been so wonderful to combine these two passions and capture so many fun memories. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends, especially doing anything outdoors.
