About me...
Originally from Northern Michigan, Colorado has been my home for almost 25 years. I've taught Spanish K-12 in an IB/PYP program for 15 + years with a few years of teaching and coaching technology. Helping start a Dual Immersion School has been the highlight of my career and I'm excited to see the first cohort graduate in 2018. I've taught overseas on two occasions-- once in Honduras and once in Singapore. Currently I'm teaching high school Spanish and serving as a best-practice coach in my building.
