As a Colorado native, I was raised to love all things outdoors: Hiking, camping, paddle boarding, snowboarding, and soccer (playing, watching, and coaching) are some of my most favorite things to do. A dream day off of work for me would include a good hike, going out to brunch with pals, reading a book or listening to a podcast, and playing games (especially Spikeball, even though I’m pretty bad at it).
Coffee, breakfast foods, and dinosaurs are the way to my heart. Also, in college, I lived in California and studied abroad in Israel and South Africa so all three of these places hold a really special place in my heart. Before I became a teacher, I was pretty convinced that I was going to live in South Africa forever and become a safari driver, but I guess hanging out with Junior Highers is just as exciting.
