I am currently the principal of the Folsom Elementary campus for The Phoenix Schools.  I grew up in a small Nebraska town and graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education in 1980.   Immediately following my college education I began teaching.  I have taught kindergarten, first grade and second grade in both public and private schools in Colorado and California.   During my employment with The Phoenix Schools, I assisted in the development of the current Phoenix curriculum in my capacity as an elementary teacher and kindergartener coordinator from 1993 to 2000.  I have continued to further develop and refine the program during my capacity as the Principal at The Phoenix Schools since 2001.    The program is based on successful, existing teaching principles as well as a combination of new strategies.  The educational results of Phoenix students SAT scores evidences the educational development our students and their achievements under the Phoenix curriculum.  Our Phoenix parents are equally pleased as they will attest that their children excel in our program.   

I have a husband and two daughters who I enjoy spending time with.  When I am not busy attending to school matters I spend my leisure time cooking and gardening.
