Bio
Hi friends!
I am so excited to be a part of your kiddos educational journey.  I have been in a special education classroom since I graduated in 2012. I started working with a student who changed my life and career path. He is the reason I am where I am today. I started teaching in 2018 after getting my BA in Special Education. I went back right away and got my Master's in Special Education in 2021 just 3 months after having my first daughter.
I have two daughters, two doggos and a crazy cat! My husband and I love spending time outside with our family, whether it's working on the garden or exploring the beauty Colorado has to offer. My husband and I moved to Firestone from San Diego (where I grew up) in 2019 and have been loving it.
My teaching philosophy is that everyone can learn and will continue to learn until the day we die.
