I grew up in Oklahoma with one older brother and my mother. I attended college in Southern Illinois in Edwardsville where I attained my Certification in Education and a minor in Psychology. I started teaching in 2006 as an art teacher, then acquired my certification to teach Math in 2009. I co-taught middles school math, coached middle school volleyball, and managed after school art clubs before taking a break from teaching to raise my two youngest daughters. We moved to Colorado in 2017. I taught in the St. Vrain school district prior to coming to Quist. I am so excited to become part of the Quist family. I love living in Colorado where my three daughters and I can go hiking, kayaking, camping, and other activities outdoors. The scenery here is absolutely breathtaking!
