Following 16 years of teaching in Southern California, my family moved to Grand Junction. My first year at Bookcliff Christian School was 1999. I had the privilege of teaching third-grade for 17 years. In 2015, I left to serve at Colorado Christian University as the Assistant Director of Education, teaching undergrad and graduate students, classroom management and instructional management. During my time at CCU I missed serving children, upon my retirement in June of 2025, I prayed that a door would open for me once again work with students. That door was opened at BCS! It is a blessing to be home again.
Some of my favorite things- Family (My husband Larry, sons Craig and Casey, their beautiful wives Jen and Mariah, and grandson Kodi!), three golden doodles, and pickleball!I accepted the Lord in high school through the Young Life program, my favorite verse is Jeremiah 29:11!
His plans are always so much better than mine!
