Fun Facts
I love Colorado. I have lived here for 12 years. I especially enjoy hiking the infamous 14'ers, camping, and biking. Outside of Colorado, I enjoy visiting different colleges.
About Me
I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the dallas">University of Dallas. Recently I have obtained a certificate from the UCLA - Extension program in College Admissions Counseling. I enjoy helping students find their perfect home away from home.
Experience
At the dallas">University of Dallas I learned about the Great Books of the Western World. Since 1992, I have been very passionate about a classical education, and I have taught every grade using this model. The main components of this type of education are learning Logic, Latin, Speech & Debate, and history chronistically. Having taught K-12 consecutively gives me the unique advantage of having a holistic perspective about the educational process.
Approach
I completely see the benefits of being well-educated. It is important to view education as something intriguing and fun. Learning how to connect knowledge is key. Understanding where the student is coming from is imperative. I bridge the gaps by making learning fun.
