I grew up in southeast Michigan, spent a summer in Italy, lived in Utah for a year, and settled in Colorado with my handsome hubby. In addition to teaching, I enjoy playing with my rambunctious kiddos, trail running, doing half marathons and sprint triathlons, going to coffee shops, listening to podcasts, trying to know God and be a better human, and reading (classics, philosophy, memoirs, bestsellers, non-fiction...you name it).
