My Bio

This is my fifth year as an Assistant in the Lower Elementary class with Ms. DeWyke.  I also serve as one of the Culture Specialists at our school.  I have three boys and this is our 9th year at STCS.  My boys will be in 4th grade,  5th grade, and my oldest starting his senior year. When they were younger, I spent countless hours volunteering at our school.

Prior to having children, I worked in the corporate world for many years, most recently as a Corporate Training Manager.  However, my dream was always to be a teacher.  I love interacting with and building relationships with children.  I have a gift for helping children find their talents and building in them the confidence to pursue those talents. I am currently working toward my Lower Elementary certification through North American Montessori Center and expect to be finished in December.  I grew up in a small town in Southwestern Colorado and I do miss the mountains and seasons, but I appreciate the beauty of the Arizona desert and sunsets.  My favorite things to do are spending time with my boys, camping in the Colorado Mountains, reading, baking and taking road trips.
