I grew up in Boulder, Colorado, inheriting a love of the outdoors. After being homeschooled in the 80's and attending high school in North Denver, I went to CU Boulder where I earned bachelors degrees in Speech and Hearing Sciences and Psychology. I married my college sweetheart and together we have parented 5 children who range in age from 29 to 12 years old. We are thrilled to even be grandparents now! I have worn the many hats of a stay at home parent: cook, maid, nurse, chauffeur, team mom and even sports coach. Zookeeper? It sure felt like it sometimes! I have also been a homeschool mom, teacher of sciences and US History, and director of a homeschool co-op. Through it all, I remained passionate about ISR which had kept my own children safe! As a certified ISR Instructor, I have months of specialized training, and years of experience, in helping children and adults discover how to rescue themselves if they end up in an aquatic emergency. I also maintain current Red Cross CPR & First Aid Certifications, as well as a certification for working with children with  ASD and/or those who have sensory needs. I've taught children with many complex health and development situations such as cerebral palsy, diabetes, hearing and/or vision impairments, speech and language conditions, ADHD, ASD, and more. I have also helped several adults overcome a lifelong fear of drowning! I am fully licensed and insured. Most importantly, I love kids, and I am passionate about helping you keep them safe around water with the gift of ISR. I promise to support your children, encourage them, and empower them throughout their lessons. I am looking forward to meeting you and your children!

Yo hablo un poco de español. Si el español es su idioma principal, me complace tratar de hablarlo con usted u sus hijos.
