I am honored to be part of Juniper School's INCREDIBLE community serving as the Head of School.  I started my educational career nearly twenty years ago as a volunteer soccer coach.  Since then, I have served as a science and technology teacher, coach and sponsor of a variety of sports and clubs, and a school leader in the Denver area.

As an undergrad, I studied physics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City and history and communication at William Jewell College where I played soccer and ran the college radio station.   I earned two master's degrees from the University of South Florida in Exceptional Student Education and Educational Leadership and a doctorate from the University of Colorado in Leadership for Educational Equity completing my dissertation on STEM instruction.  I am honored to be a 2022-23 finalist for Colorado Principal of the Year and as a board member for the Powerhouse Science Museum. 

 

I enjoy skiing, soccer, computer games, dreaming about completing my science fiction novel, and spending time with my family.
