Bio
I am so excited for another year at Grand View! This is my 26th year in education and I come to you with a wealth of experience in teaching grades K-12 in both Special Education and General Education. For the first 23 years in education, I have taught and led in Adams 12 Five Star School District. I am starting my 3rd year as the principal of Grand View and I am committed to continuing to build a strong community where each student excels and every family feels welcome! I have three children of my own that keep my husband and I very busy! Isabella just started her college journey to be a vet tech, Vincenzo is in 11th grade and Niccolina is in 10th grade. My husband Joshua is also an educator and works in Englewood School District. When I am not at work I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, scrapbooking, and photographing special occasions. I look forward to working together to build our Grand View community. Please stop by anytime to speak with me about any celebrations or concerns that you may have regarding your student. I look forward to our partnership!
