Accomplished educator and counselor at Manitou Springs School District 14, renowned for enhancing student well-being and academic success through evidence-based practices and comprehensive counseling programs. Excelled in parent-teacher collaboration and empathy development, significantly improving student support systems. Expert in group and individual counseling, fostering a supportive and inclusive educational environment.
I enjoy all things outdoors. My husband and I and our Great Dane dog enjoy hiking so much that we plan our vacations around that. I enjoy mountain biking with family in Cheyenne Mountain State Park, Black Forest and on the USAFA trails.
After retiring from my school counseling position in 2018, I became certified as a nature and forest therapy guide offering guided encounters with nature that provides respite from the overwhelm of living in a noisy and busy world.
