Leadership Team

I am a life-long learner with a background in curriculum and design, differentiated instruction, school management and educational leadership. I received my bachelor’s degree in biology and completed my master’s degree in special education with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction from the University of Colorado. As a co-founder of North Star Academy I have served as the school’s Curriculum Director, Dean of Middle School, and Assistant Principal.  I am honored to be the current Principal. I spend my free time exploring the outdoors with my husband and two boys.

 

NSA has been a home away from home for me, and there is nowhere else I’d rather be. I believe in what we do at North Star Academy to educate our children and look forward to our students’ growth each year.  I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from Montana State University-Billings, a Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Penn State, and a Graduate Certificate in Educational Leadership from Kaplan University. I love to learn and my goal has always been to pass my love of learning onto my students.  I look forward to working with our students each year to help them learn and grow to their fullest potential!

 

I was born and raised in Colorado. I have a masters in administration from the University of Denver.  I worked for Aurora Public Schools before coming to North Star Academy in 2011 to teach middle school math.  It has been a wonderful experience to go from teacher to Assistant Principal at North Star.  My wife, Tiffany, is the Pre-K Director and Teacher. We have four children attending NSA.  I am very excited for the new adventures this year will bring working with such a wonderful staff and student body.
