This picture is a good representation of two out of the three major passions in my life. I studied History and Geography at Colorado State University. In addition to these core subjects I studied Education and received my teaching license. To obtain a teaching license I was required to study all facets of the social studies curriculum. I have a true passion for anything social studies including history, government, economics, geography, and psychology. I am lucky enough to be teaching three of those content areas. The second passion in my life is the outdoors. I am an avid mountain biker, climber, snowboarder, and backpacker. The outdoors is what brought me to Southwest Colorado, and I happened to embrace the rich culture and friendly community as a bonus. Finally, my passion not pictured here, is music. I have been a musician for 14 years, and have had many of my life's greatest experiences on a stage playing music or in a crowd listening. I look forward to working with a new group of students, and cannot wait to continue to be a part of the phenomenal community Bayfield and BHS have to offer!
