Reading Interventionist

What I love most about working with teenagers is that they are on a journey to discover their voices, their beliefs, and their identities. They are full of passion and idealism, and I am honored to help them on their journeys.


About Me

I come from a family of educators and grew up in Aurora Colorado. Before Gateway, I taught English for ten years in Longmont and Thornton Colorado. I also taught English for a year in South Korea. What I love most about Colorado is cycling, camping, and hiking with my family. Around the house, I enjoy creative writing and playing the guitar.
