Hello!  I am the school social worker for West Elementary.  I've worked in D11 since 2006, and at West Elementary since it opened in 2009.  Sam and Josie, therapy dogs, have given and received love at West since 2018.  It has also been so much fun to be a Girls on the Run coach at West!  I have lived in Colorado all of my life, and mostly on the west side of Colorado Springs.  I enjoy being connected to people, as well as running, dog walking, reading and crochet.  I have a husband and two adult kids, and in addition to Sam and Josie, Addie (dog) and Kitty Cat Karl.  I am thankful to be part of the West community.  We are awesome at West because we do our best!
