More about my life and education:
I was born and raised in Fort Collins with my older sister, Morgan, who is fluent in French and taught high school students for years at a charter school in Longmont. I grew up going to youth group, and once I graduated from Rocky Mountain High School, I began to co-lead the youth for over 5 years. My most recent adventure was to China, where I had the opportunity to teach a Chinese kindergarten class English. With my niece almost 3, I've learned the importance of these early stages of life and how much of an impact we have as teachers!
