I was born and raised in Thornton, Colorado. I started teaching at Rodger Quist Middle School in January of 2019 after graduating from Regis University with my license in elementary education and culturally linguistally and diverse education (K-12). Before graduating from Regis, I recieved my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance at Colorado Mesa University. Outisde of Quist, I teach dance at Dancer’s Edge Dance studio.

Dance has taught me many things like dicipline, passion, creativity, realiablity, and leadership. The things that I have positively learned, I take with me into the classroom. I am also very family oriented and love to travel, therefore, I strive to cultivate a loving and diverse environment for my students. 

I am one of those people who always knew that I wanted to become a teacher and inspire the youth to better our world. I feel very blessed everyday to be in a career that can allow reach this goal.
