"Educators are the only people who lose sleep over other people's children."
- Nicholas Ferroni
I started my teaching career in 2007 at Castle View High School, and am passionate about working with kids.
I grew up in Castle Rock, and graduated from Douglas County High School in 2000.
I went to Colorado Springs for my degree in English (UCCS), and Metropolitan State College of Denver for my teaching license.
I have traveled all over the country (from San Diego, CA, to Austin, TX to Boston, MA and many places in-between) in an effort to be the best educator that I can be. I have learned a great deal about what a classroom can look like, what a learning environment can be, and what students are truly capable of... if the adults in their lives would just get out of their way. I believe that teachers are mentors, coaches, and guides in the learning process. My classroom is a student-centered (as opposed to teacher-centered) environment in which students are encouraged to explore, create, experiment, ask questions and express their own interests at all levels.
The best way to get into contact with me is via email.
