BA from Western Michigan University in 2006 in Special Education in the areas of Learning Disabilities and Cognitive Impairments as well as a degree in Elementary Education.

Experience:
3 years at Canton High School in Canton, Michigan (between Detroit and Ann Arbor). This was a very unique setting as Canton was only one of three high schools on one campus. Students attended classes in all three buildings. The total number of students – 6,000! I also have an older brother with autism which has been a lifelong experience. This is my first year at Stone Creek.

Strengths:
Creative, enthusiastic, have high expectations for all students, have a sense of humor, compassionate, have great communication skills, team worker, and am highly motivated.  

Personal:
I am from Farmington Hills, Michigan (metro Detroit area) and I am the youngest of three. I have a cat named Hector and a kitten named Scout. I have played the violin for over 10 years and love music. I even had the opportunity to travel to Russia to perform. After being introduced to Colorado by my boyfriend I spent my first summer here last year. I fell in love with it so much that I decided to stay!

Passion/Interests:
I love learning and am an avid reader. I also enjoy spinning, pilates, hiking, making jewelry, and am excited to learn how to ski. 

Your Vision for SCCS:
To help students reach their full potential and become independent learners.
