What is Paddington to you? 
​My father always said: “Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life.” I feel that way every day.

The joy that my students bring to me on a daily basis is indescribable. My connection with this community is one I have
grown to love and which has become a part of me.

When teachers create a fun learning environment, students don’t even realize they are learning. Working in a play-based
philosophy school like Paddington, I feel we are setting our students up for success for the rest of their educational careers.
​That, to me, is the most important contribution I can make as a teacher.
​
I feel grateful every day to have these amazing young people in my life because I love what I do!
 
When I’m not at Paddington….
I enjoy touring the state of Colorado with my husband on our Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
