About the Director
;)
As a mother of five, grandmother of two, educator, and believer, I spend each and every day doing what is best for kids. After marrying my college sweetheart, Marcus, I stayed home to raise our children in the suburbs of Chicago. I homeschooled for some of that time and was actively involved in children's ministry in our church, serving as a MOPPETS coordinator and even helping to write Sunday school curriculum.
After moving here to Colorado Springs, I served as an advocate with CASA in El Paso County, as well as a Peer Coordinator for other advocates. During this time, I completed a degree in Rhetoric and Writing at UCCS, while also obtaining my teaching license. While I was taking classes, my two youngest daughters attended Rockrimmon Christian Preschool with Miss Susan and Miss Kim! After all of my children were all in school full-time, I went on to teach third, fifth, and sixth grade English in Academy School District 20. I then completed my MA in Educational Leadership and Principal Licensure at UCCS, as well.
With the love of our Lord, my lifelong commitment to children, and a deep understanding of school systems and processes, I look forward to supporting the mission and vision of Rockrimmon Christian Preschool and to continuing Susan's legacy. What a blessing she has been to all students, staff, and families!
