It is a privilege to work collaboratively with the Colorado Springs School District 11 team!  As a proud District 11 graduate of Coronado High School, it is an honor to serve in a capacity that empowers students in our community.  I take great pride in initiating and delivering exceptional educational opportunities to ALL students.  Truly grateful with the opportunity to utilize twenty-two years of educational experiences in career and technical education, concurrent enrollment, counseling, individual career and academic planning, curriculum design, industry engagement and as a viable component of building out the Roy J Wasson Academic Campus to deliver transformational education for ALL students.

I am honored and proud to serve Colorado Springs District 11 in the role of Executive Director for K12 schools.  I am a graduate of District 11, and alumni of Wasson High School, Irving Junior High School, and Wilson Elementary School.  I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Social Sciences from the University of Southern Colorado, and my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Colorado.   My teaching career began at the elementary level, and continued as a middle school language arts teacher.  I have served as both an assistant principal and a principal at the middle school level for the past ten years.  In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening, reading, and traveling. 

As Executive Director, K-12 Schools, it’s great to be a part of the D11 team. I came from the business community 22 years ago to enter into the field of education. I earned my Bachelors Degree in History from the University of Denver and my Masters degree in Administration and Supervision from the University of Phoenix.  I taught Social Studies, Language Arts, Math, Technology and Business to middle school students until I became an administrator and have served as an Elementary, Middle and High School Assistant Principal, as Middle School Principal, as Athletic /Activities Director at Middle and High School. I have served as Director of Curriculum and Instruction in two districts and was Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment in the Alamosa School District.   

It is a pleasure to serve the community of Colorado Springs School District 11 in my capacity as Executive Director of K12 Schools. I have been an administrator in D-11 for the past 24 years working at both the elementary and secondary level, and I truly love what I do! I am a graduate of Mitchell High School and hold both a Bachelors degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Special Education from the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs.
