This is my 27th year working as an educator, and my 13th year at Fountain Middle School. As a former military spouse, I spent 14 years as an elementary school teacher in Alabama, Kansas, Texas and then here in Colorado Springs.  After returning home to Colorado, I went back to school and received a master's degree in Instructional Technology and made the move to Fountain Middle School.

I currently teach Essential Computers, Creative Computers and CS Discovery (Computer Science) . I am also the Web Administrator for the school website, and the Knowledge Bowl Team sponsor. 

Welcome to Fountain Middle School!

This is my 11th year teaching at Fountain Middle School.   I previously taught Language Arts and this is my seventh year teaching Technology.  I know how invaluable using technology is for the 21^st Century Learner and it is my goal to help students find success through the use of technology.  I promise to challenge my students, to make them think critically and to teach them how to communicate with each other socially and professionally thus creating lifelong learners. 

I have a Master’s in Instructional Technology Degree through Colorado State University-Pueblo and my Bachelors is in Liberal Studies, also through Colorado State University-Pueblo. I have several passions in life—my family, teaching, and learning.  I have an amazing 18-year old son, Sam, who graduated from Fountain Ft. Carson High School and is currently waiting to begin his freshman year in college where he will pursue a degree in computer engineering. 

Teaching for me is not just a job, it’s a calling.  I absolutely love what I do and wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world!  Along with my son and teaching, learning is something that I take great pride in.  I am a life-long learner and seek to know more and will always encourage those around me to do the same.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. We would also love to have you come visit us in class whenever you can, so please stop by whenever you like!

I look forward to a great year ahead!

Go Trojans!
