Hello!  I feel so fortunate to have just finished my 21st year in education, and my seventh year at the Falcon Homeschool Program!  A little about me...I have always worked in education, mainly as an English teacher, though I have taught most grade levels K-12.  I found my way to the Falcon Homeschool Program after writing my thesis for my first Master's Degree in gifted education.  I combed through tons of research on homeschooling (did you know that a lot of homeschoolers are gifted learners?) and found it fascinating!  I had a good friend who worked at the Falcon Homeschool Program, and before I knew it, I was teaching at the Falcon Homeschool Program.  About a year and a half into teaching here, the opportunity for leadership came along.  I am thrilled to now be in a leadership position, and I have just finished my sixth year as the Program Manager.  I believe that homeschooling is an invaluable gift that parents give their children.  The time, dedication, energy, and zest for learning is unmatched in any other educational setting that I have found.  I love my job, our families, and our staff!  In my free time, I chase after my little ones and enjoy the outdoors with my family.  We love hiking, biking, skiing, and gardening in the Colorado sun and snow.
