Welcome to Colorado Mountain College! I am an academic advisor for Colorado Mountain College Carbondale and Aspen/Basalt Campuses. I am enthusiastic about supporting students in their journeys to achieve their educational goals. I specialize in assisting multilingual, English language learners, High School Equivalency, Adult High School Diploma, Early Childhood and Elementary Education students. I have been a resident of the Roaring Fork Valley off and on for over 43 years.

I wear many hats at Colorado Mountain College. In addition to being an academic advisor, I am also an ESL, HSE and AHSD adjunct instructor for the Carbondale and Aspen/Basalt Campuses.

I have earned a BA in psychobiology from UC Santa Cruz, an MA in Early Childhood Special Education from CU Denver, and teaching credentials from the Colorado Dept of Education for K-12 math, K-12 Spanish, Elementary Education, English as a Second Language, Adult Basic Education and High School Equivalency. I have been a preschool director and teacher, an elementary and middle school math, science, Spanish and English Language Development teacher. I have had the pleasure of teaching ESL, ECE and HSE/GED prep courses for Colorado Mountain College since 2003.  I look forward to working with you!
