About Me
I was born in Denver, CO and I've lived here all my life. There are many aspects of the area I love: the art and music scene, our loyal fanbases (go Broncos!), and the fact that most of my family is here. There are, however, some aspects I do not love. I do not love how populated the area has become (especially what it has done to the cost of living) and I do not love that Colorado is so far from an ocean.
​
I did not have aspirations for being a teacher. My background is actually in creative writing. Well, film studies, if you want to get technical. I was in my early 20s and was dreaming of a life of creativity. Fast forward 10 years, and I do have a creative career, it's just in a different way than I ever anticipated. Working in education is hard. So much of a teacher's day (successes, stressors, celebrations, and trivialities) depends on our students. However, there are moments that are so rewarding and they remind me I'm where I need to be.
