Teaching is a career of conscious choosing for me after spending nearly ten years practicing corporate law. The joy I experience working with young people
led me to pursue a career change and master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Denver. I have been at Gust since 2014 teaching 3rd grade math and science. I also work in a leadership role supporting other teachers through classroom observations & coaching cycles. Gust Elementary is special, and it is an honor to be a part of this community. To quote Jerry Seinfeld, “I fell in love with the work and the work is joyful.”
