About Me
I have been teaching for over a decade and have taught from 6th graders to juniors in high school! I've been teaching at Blevins since August of 2013, where I have had the opportunity to work with children in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades. I have served many roles at Blevins in various coaching positions and committees, but one that I am most proud of is my work with our 8th grade WEB leaders and as co-coordinator with another colleague of the program at our school and the district transition programs.
I live in Wellington with my husband and two children, but spend most of my time in Fort Collins due to the schools my children attend and their busy sports/activities schedules.
Here are a few other fun facts about me:
- I was born in Brazil.
- At one point, my mom and mother-in-law lived on our property with us! Now, there is just one!
- English was not my first language! I speak English, Portuguese, and some Spanish.
- I have coached tennis, softball, and wrestling.
- Our dog is named Odie and he is a Yorkie.
- One of my favorite books is The Great Gatsby.
- My school pictures are epic!
