Hello Centennial Families! 

I have been teaching for 7 years and have taught 4th and 5th grade. I also taught in a Talented and Gifted program for multiple grades. I speak four languages and love to travel to experience other cultures. This will be my 4th year at Centennial. I look forward to getting to know and grow with you and your family.

Hello families!

I’m so excited to be joining the Centennial team as a 5th grade teacher this year! I am from Littleton. Colorado and I recently graduated with distinction from the University of Colorado in Boulder with a degree in Elementary Education and an endorsement in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education. I’m honored to begin my teaching career in such a welcoming and supportive community.

Many of you may already know me because I had the opportunity to student teach with Ms.Tonya Dean last year, and I loved getting to know so many wonderful students and families during that time. I feel incredibly lucky to continue working with many of those same students as they take on their final year of elementary school.

Fifth grade is such an important year of growth, leadership, and preparation for middle school. I’m excited to challenge, support, and cheer on each student as they build the skills and confidence they need for the next step. I can’t wait to learn and grow alongside them!

Looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!

Hello Families! 

This will be my 22nd year teaching and my 8th year as a proud Centennial Raptor. Teaching is my passion because no two days are ever the same! I love spending my days with our precious young learners and preparing them for future success at school and as global citizens. Building community in the classroom and with all of our families has always been my emphasis, so I look forward to getting to know you all and working together this school year. When I’m not working, I love to see live music, hike, do yoga and spend time with my husband and two children (17 and 19 years old).

Hello Centennial Families! I am so thrilled and honored to be part again of this amazing school and community.  As most of you know, I was born in Brazil and I moved to the United States 23 years ago.  I’ve been teaching and working in education for 40 years in various positions. I’ve worked as an elementary teacher, middle school teacher, principal, CLDE teacher, and university adjunct professor at DU and Regis University. I have been teaching in our district for 23 years. I speak four languages and I have a master’s degree in Linguistically Diverse Learners.  I love to travel around the world with my husband in order to learn and experience different cultures. I also love to spend time  with my four grandchildren. I look forward to working again with our multi language community this year. I will co-teach with Ms. Gleason in 5th grade and I will pull 4th and 5th ELD groups as well.  I can’t wait to get to know you, and learn with all of you.
