In my search for a new meaningful and fulfilling job, I discovered School in the Woods Montessori School and began working here in 2025.


I hold a bachelor’s degree in financial planning from Colorado State University in Fort Collins. After graduating, I launched my career at a Denver-based financial services firm, where I worked for 15 years. During my tenure, I worked my way up from an entry level role to director of a department, where I oversaw a team of 30 people. The atmosphere at School in the Woods could not be more different, and I welcome the opportunity to be part of this community.


In my free time I enjoy traveling with my husband, trying new restaurants, watching the Colorado Avalanche, and hanging out with our cat, Bubba.
