Ms. Annalise
Hello! My name is Annalise, and I am excited to join The Juniper community this year. Originally from Michigan, where I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Michigan State University, I hold a master's degree in teaching and curriculum with a specialization in science and mathematics education. After teaching middle school science for the past six years, I am thrilled to now have the opportunity to teach STEAM to Kinders through 8th graders. Living in Durango has been wonderful for pursuing my passion for the outdoors, including trail running, snowboarding, rafting, mountain biking, and camping. I look forward to an incredible year of exploration and learning with my students!Outdoor and Physical Education
