Welcome to 8th grade Language Arts!  I was born and raised in Manitou Springs, Colorado and currently live in Old Colorado City. I attended Fort  LewisCollege in Durango, Colorado and received a BA in English Education. This is my sixth year teaching and I am looking forward to an exciting and successful year! I am highly dedicated to introducing students to a variety of genres in literature and encouraging their desire to be lifelong readers.  I also look forward to helping students hone their writing skills and improve their methods of communication.

I firmly believe that all students are capable of greatness. I also understand that each student is different and must be treated individually. I set universally high expectations with the understanding that some students will not meet those goals, some will, and others will beat them. Grades in this class reflect not only the final product, but the effort put into it and the progress shown by the individual student. A student who tries his/her best will not fail in my class.

Feel free to contact me at any time!
