My husband, Damon, and I live in Timnath with our six kids,
Addison (15), Caleb (14), Reagan (13), Moriah (12), Ethan (12), and
Selah (10). They ALL play sports so we are busy supporting them on
the field and in the gym, but in our free time we love to bike, hike,
camp, and travel together.

I’ve been teaching middle school math and 5

th graders for the last
20 years in Poudre School District, and am excited to make the jump
to high school math at Fossil this year! I’ve been coaching middle
school and club ball and training kids around raising our kids for
the last 20 years as well.
I grew up in Minnesota where I was a multi-sport athlete and
earned first-team all-state honors in volleyball, basketball, and

track. On the hardwood, I was a four-year starter, four-year all-
conference player, and three-time all-state player. In high school,

my AAU club basketball team won back-to-back national AAU titles.
I earned a full-ride basketball scholarship to Colorado State where I

was Western Athletic Conference freshman of the year, earning first-
team all-conference honors and three trips to the NCAA

tournament. Ranked as high as fourth in the nation, I helped lead
the Rams to a sweet 16 appearance and a Mountain West Athletic
conference tournament championship where I was named
tournament MVP. I turned down opportunities to play professionally
overseas to pursue a master’s degree in education after college.
