Speech Language Pathologist

I am the speech/language pathologist at SRE. My job is to support students with communication needs. I love my work and have a passion for  incorporating a child’s energy and natural desire for fun into activities that help them grow in their speech and language skills. I graduated with both my Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in communicative disorders from California State University Long Beach. I have almost 30 years of experience in schools, early intervention, private practice and home health. I have worked in DCSD for 7 years, two of those at SRE. However, I have been an SRE parent and proud community member for many years. I am originally from the San Fransisco Bay Area in California, but then lived my college years and beyond in southern California. Although I miss living by the coast, I love living in CO. I try to take advantage of all the outdoor activities here including tennis, cycling, hiking, skiing and just hanging out in my yard with my family.  When not outdoors you'll find me reading a book, working out at the gym, trying to learn ukelele, playing boardgames/cards with my kids, or hanging out with friends. I am truly grateful to be a part of the SRE community!

School Psychologist

Hello! I am the part-time school psychologist for SRE!  I am passionate about supporting the social and emotional needs of all students so that they can pursue anything they want in life! Outside of work, I am a mother to two beautiful daughters, 3 cats, and a dog. My husband and I love planning family adventures either here in Denver or out of state!  I enjoy running, yoga, knitting, ceramics, and swing dancing (this is how my husband and I met)!

Learning Specialist

I am one of the Learning Specialists at Saddle Ranch. I have been part of the teaching and parent community at SRE since 2013. Prior to teaching at SRE, I was a learning specialist at Annunciation Catholic School in Denver for 5 years. I have enjoyed being part of the SRE community. I truly believe SRE is one of the most amazing schools and I am so blessed to be able to call it home. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children. We are a big hockey family. Go Avs! Both of my children, Jayden and Kennedy, play hockey so this consumes most of our time outside of work. We also enjoy camping, traveling, and having family movie nights.
