Biography

I have been teaching at Metro State since 1996. I originally came to Metro State to teach elementary language arts, with a focus on K-16 writing instruction. In 2007 I joined the Department's writing faculty.


I love teaching in the First Year Writing program, especially 1008/1009 sequence.


My husband, Richard, is a Denver native and is a retired principal and science teacher for Denver Public Schools. We have two children: Evan and Janie. I enjoy spending time with family, reading murder mysteries and taking naps.
