This is my thirteenth year teaching mathematics.  In 2007 I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in secondary education with a concentration in mathematics from Western Michigan University.  Later, in 2011, I earned a Master’s degree in educational leadership from the University of South Florida and then relocated to teach at Aspen High School.  As the head dance team coach in 2015, I lead the team to earn the runner-up award at the state competition in the Pon Poms 3A division.  In 2017 my husband and I welcomed a baby girl into our home.  I have recently transitioned from the head of the mathematics department to the International Baccalaureate Coordinator.
