Bio
I am so happy to be a member of the Alpine community as the occupational therapist.  I love making meaningful connections with my students so I can support them on their academic journey.  I was drawn to occupational therapy because I enjoy finding individualized, creative ways to help others.  I have worked with children for my entire career, mostly in private practice.  I earned my B.S. in occupational therapy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2001 and my post-professional M.S. in occupational therapy from Mount Mary University in 2023.
Some fun facts about me.  I love to travel and explore new places.  I grew up as an Air Force Brat and moved every 2-3 years growing up.  I have lived in Longmont with my husband and two kids since 2006, which is the longest I've ever lived in one place!  I love the theater and live music and am also a beekeeper.
