I am so happy to be working as the counselor at Ralph Moody. I will be in the building Tuesday through Friday. My goal is to encourage and support the development of our students. I began teaching elementary students in 1992 and completed my counseling degree in 2003. I volunteer as a facilitator for Rainbows, a support group for grieving children. My family includes my husband, Don and our 2 children Emma, and Sam.

Counselor's Corner

Monday, Wednesday, Friday a.m.

I am proud to be providing speech-language therapy to Ralph Moody students for the 8th year. I received my B.A. in Communicative Disorders from the University of Redlands, and my M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from The University of Illinois. Following graduation, I spent three years as a speech-language pathologist for a school district in California. I have been a member of ASHA (American Speech-Language and Hearing Association) for the past 11 years and I hold my CCCs (Certificate of Clinical Competence). Each year, I participate in continuing education opportunities to keep up with the changes in my field.

Although I miss the California weather, I am glad to be back in Colorado, where I grew up. I live with my wonderful husband, our precious daughter, and our lovable cat. My interests include singing, swimming, reading, and spending time with my family.

I am so glad to be here at Ralph Moody providing occupational therapy services. I share my time between Moody and Peabody Elementary. I am in the building on Wednesdays and Fridays. I am a native Nebraskan and like to visit often, but enjoy living in Colorado immensely. I enjoy horseback riding, reading, and being outdoors in my spare time. I am so blessed to be a part of the Ralph Moody community.

I was born and raised here in Littleton, Colorado. I attended Highlands Ranch High School back when it was a Junior/Senior High School. I played volleyball at Eastern New Mexico University for two years where I majored in Special Education. I came home and finished my degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Elementary Education at Metro State in Denver. After graduating, I accepted the job as the TAB teacher at Ralph Moody Elementary. This is my 10th year with Ralph Moody and I still love it as much as I did when I was a brand new teacher walking through the front door. Shortly after starting here at Ralph Moody I received my Master’s Degree from University of Colorado. Today, I spend my free time with my husband, Wes, and our two little men, Noah and Bode. I also enjoy working out and playing volleyball..
