I grew up in Chicago and attended Illinois State University my first two years of college. Skiing and sunshine brought me to Colorado where I completed my undergraduate degree in education at the University of Northern Colorado. I taught fifth grade through eighth grade before pursuing a career as a counselor. I received my masters in counseling from the University of Phoenix.   

After beginning my teaching career as a 5th and 6th grade teacher at Franktown Elementary School, I opened Chaparral High School, Sierra Middle School, Legend High School, and Cimarron Middle School.  It was an honor and a pleasure to serve on the planning team for Cimarron Middle School.  This year I will be one of the counselors working with groups. My career highlights were being recognized as the Colorado Middle School Counselor of the Year and being named National Life Group Life Changer of The Year 2022-2023. 

Hearing Sandy Austin's ideas about how I could create a more caring culture at my school, sparked my interest in the BIONIC Program.  I thought, “My school NEEDS this program.”  We started BIONIC the following year.  The program is easy to implement, simple to customize, and quickly makes a difference.
