Hello students and families,

I was born and raised in Chicago, but moved to a nearby west suburb called Oak Park when I was in my twenties. I am married with three children, ages 23, 20 and 8 years old. We officially relocated to Colorado last September, where we have really enjoyed the sunshine, opportunities to run, bike, hike, and paddle board. I'm honored to be your Principal and I'm devoted to getting our students career and college ready! Go Riders!

Hello Roosevelt family,

I have been an Educator for 20 years.  I have taught PE, Health, Biomechanics, and Computers. I have also been the District Curriculum Coordinator for a neighboring district, a District Mentor and previously the AD at Erwin Middle School. 


In my free time, I love to watch sports, go fishing, play golf, or just spend time with my family. I'm excited to be a part of a new family here at Roosevelt High School. 

Ride for the bRand!

Hello Roosevelt family,

I am so excited to join the RoughRider family this year as a new assistant principal! I love science, nature and spending time in the mountains with my husband, our son and our yellow lab Grizzly. 

I look forward to helping each student be successful on their individual pathways to graduation.

Hello Rider nation!

I was born and raised in Rawlins, Wyoming and currently live in Longmont with my wife, two kids and a yellow lab named Kölsch. I love baseball, live music, BBQ and snowboarding. 

I started my educational career as a high school social studies teacher in Detroit and then at Horizon High School here in Colorado. I have served in Instruction Technology roles in both Adams12 and St. Vrain, and then as a content coordinator and Director of Curriculum & Standards in BVSD. Most recently I was an Assistant Principal at Monarch High School in Louisville, CO. 

I'm so excited to be part of the Roosevelt community.
