Born and raised in the D38 school system, I am very excited to be back in the community and sharing my joy and passion in my first year of teaching Elementary PE. Currently living in Colorado Springs with my dog Koda who is an incredible athlete and enjoys playing with his Kong and stuffed elephant. I attended Gustavus Adolphus College receiving my Bachelor in Arts degree in Athletic Training and Coaching. My favorite sport to coach and play is basketball and am an avid Duke Blue Devil and Denver Nugget fan. I play and enjoy almost every sport under the sun and always love getting better and learning new activities. I love mentoring to promote active minds, active bodies, and active community members through sport, health, and social interaction.
