2010-2011 Residency Completing residency at Montclair School of Academics & Enrichment, 1st Grade
I moved to Colorado six years ago from Milwaukee, WI, after visiting and falling in love with the active mountain lifestyle. I finished my B.A. in psychology at the University of Colorado while heading up research on adolescent substance abuse. I took an introductory course to teaching while at CU, and realized how much I loved teaching kids. I am now a very happy Denver Teacher Residency resident and proud mother of an awesome 4-year-old boy. My hobbies include reading, debating current events, trail/mountain running, mountain biking, rock climbing, and conquering every Fourteener in Colorado.
Once I knew teaching was for me, I searched the internet for licensing options. I found out about DTR through the Colorado Department of Education (CDE) website. When I attended a DTR information session, I was impressed by the opportunity to earn an M.A., be placed in a high-needs classroom with a mentor teacher, the tuition reimbursement program, and the excellent job prospects in Denver Public Schools upon completion.
This year, I am most looking forward to my son beginning to read, climbing some mountains, graduating with my Master’s Degree, and ultimately getting my own classroom!
