2nd Grade
I’ve been at UPark for 26 years which includes my student teaching experience. All of this wonderful time has been in 2nd grade and, believe it or not, in room 113 (except student teaching in room 114). I was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but have lived in Denver since I was in 2nd grade. Matter of fact, I’m also a product of DPS, attending Park Hill, Smiley (now McAuliffe) and East High School. I’m so fortunate to be a part of the Upark family for so many years! It’s really nice to look forward to work every day. We have delightful families, creative students and such kind and talented staff members. I treasure how everyone works together to provide a great, well rounded elementary school experience for our students. Teaching is my second career. I have a degree in Graphic Design from Colorado State University and worked in that field until we had children. When our youngest child was 4, I went back to school to acquire my teaching credentials. Growing up, I was very involved in dance and martial arts. This is also where I found my passion for teaching. By the time I was in high school, I had earned a 2nd degree black belt in TaekwonDo.
