CURRENT MISSION

Run, Drink, and be Merry.

ABOUT ME

I am currently a first year teacher at an amazing charter school in Colorado Springs, CO called Atlas Prep. I am currently working towards my alternative teaching license as well as teach 6th grade math.

I have started to get into the running scene and have found it to be therapeutic in many ways. During my free time, I like to taste/review beers, read, and play guitar/sing.

Teach, Learn, Share
