Fifth
Influence Increases Opportunity
We influence others to increase opportunities for positive change.
Fifth-graders learn that influence is the ability to effect change in the actions, beliefs, and choices of others and that increasing our sphere of influence will increase the number of people who hear our message resulting in positive change in our communities. They learn how to analyze current problems and design possible solutions using a process of inquiry to action.

Elementary Education Certificate...Metropolitan State University
I am so excited to be a part of the Lone Tree Elementary Community. This will be my 23rd year in education. I have taught all grades from preschool to fifth grade. I really enjoy teaching the older students as they are old enough to get my jokes but are young enough to still think I’m funny!! I grew up in Colorado Springs and attended CSU in Fort Collins. My husband and I have two beautiful daughters: Addisyn graduated from CU Boulder in 2022 and Kendall graduated from CU this past May. I love to spend my time outdoors hiking, skiing, biking, camping, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art, Emphasis in Mathematics: Colorado College
I am a Colorado native and love hiking, paddle boarding, and camping in the mountains! I grew up in Fort Collins, went to Colorado College in Colorado Springs, and have enjoyed teaching 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades since 2002, mostly in Douglas County. My interests include various forms of art, books, movies, math, science, creating, and learning, and as a mom, I feel fortunate that my two grown sons both still reside in Colorado, where I have opportunities to see them. I have found that the Lone Tree approach fits well with my philosophies and interests. Interacting with young, curious minds is very inspiring for me, and I enjoy building relationships within the LTE community!
