I grew up in New York State and have lived here for 12 years.  I have two children, ages 10 and 8, who keep me very busy.  I have taught ESL in Peru and in Colorado - receiving my master's in this field in 2004, but enjoy being a Native Language Tutor at Arapahoe Ridge High School because I am able to speak a lot of Spanish with students, and they help me to learn more of it (especially slang!). 

The teachers and staff at this high school have made me feel at home in a relatively short amount of time, since I began working at Arapahoe Ridge in September, 2006.  Outside of school, my kids and I spend a  lot of time doing things outdoors.
