I am fortunate to work with students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade who need additional academic support. I am a member of a multidisciplinary team and my teaching style is collaborative and individually focused. As of August 2008, I will be starting my 11th year at Sandburg and have 22 years of teaching experience, all in special education, specializing in learning disabilities. I have a BS in Elementary Education and Special Education and a MA in Learning Disabilities.

This year is my 5th working at Sandburg as the school psychologist (if you've heard of "Mrs. E.," that would be me). In this position I wear several hats, providing social/affective services for and assessing children identified with special needs, but also consulting with staff and parents about general concerns regarding behavior and learning. My educational and professional history reflects my various interests. My undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College was in earth and environmental sciences, and I have Masters degrees in Geology (University of Kansas) and Educational Psychology (University of Colorado-Denver). My first career was as a geologist in the wild and woolly oil patch, but I've been working in schools for the past 20 years. My husband and I have three daughters: a recent college graduate, and college junior, and a 6th grader. When not at work, my time overflows with instrumental and choral music, gardening, biking, writing and family activities. There never seems to be enough time!
I'm at Sandburg on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Friday afternoons and spend the rest of the week at Peabody Elementary. Feel free to call or e-mail.

I am thrilled to be the new half time speech/language pathologist at Sandburg Elementary. I will also be the speech therapist at Highland Elementary half time. This is my fifth year working as an SLP in the Littleton Public School District. I received my bachelor's degree at Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas in Speech Pathology and my master's degree from the University of Northern Colorado in Speech Pathology. I have done many things in my 12 year career including adult rehabilitation and home visits to work with families of children ages birth to 3. I am glad to have finally found a job I love, working with children at the elementary school level. I am so proud to be part of such a dynamic school community within an outstanding school district. I have so much fun working with students in small groups and in their classrooms helping them develop their speech and language skills. My family lives within the Littleton school boundaries and both of my sons attend Peabody Elementary. Colin will be in third grade this year and Evan is starting preschool. My husband Jason and I love spending time outdoors with our boys and 2 dogs. We enjoy everything Colorado has to offer! When working with students, I set high standards and expectations for all kids. I like to tell the students I work with, "Reach for the moon; even if you miss you'll land among the stars."

I graduated from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri in 1993. Since then I have worked in a variety of settings including rehabilitation facilities, acute care hospitals, home care, long term care facilities, outpatient services and preschools. I’m so glad to have been with the Sandburg Resource team for 2 years now. I work itinerant in the school district, so you will find me in many different buildings around the district. My job as an Occupational Therapist in the school setting is to enhance the student's ability to fully access and be successful in the learning environment. This can be done in a variety of ways including consultation with teachers and parents, modifying the classroom, putting adaptations into place, or through direct services with the student.
My husband and I have two children that also attend Littleton Public Schools. One is in Middle School and the other in Elementary School. Being Colorado natives, much of our free time is spent enjoying skiing, hiking, camping, swimming or just being outside in our beautiful Colorado mountains.
