I am thrilled to return to the kindergarten team at Hygiene again this year! I previously worked in preschool for 8 years and taught second grade at Hygiene in 2020. I received my Masters in Elementary Education through Regis University and my Bachelor's degree is in Fine Art through Western State College. I grew up in Boulder and hopped mountain towns until I settled in Gunnison, where I met my husband, Kendall, who worked for the Crested Butte ski mountain. We moved to Longmont in 2006. I have three amazing teenagers and one spoiled Corgi puppy. We are passionate fans of bluegrass music, camping, riding our bikes, and creating art.   "From tiny seeds grow mighty trees."
