I feel so fortunate to be joining Boltz Middle School and its team of dedicated educators. I was born in Phoenix, Arizona and raised in northern Nevada, where I became the first person in my family to graduate high school and go on to college. I earned my undergraduate degree in English Education from Utah Valley University and earned my Master of Science degree in Psychology from Utah State University with licensure in school counseling.
I have served as a school counselor in both middle school and high school settings along the Wasatch Front in Utah, and went on to earn my Administrative/Supervisory concentration from Utah State University while serving as a district MTSS/PBIS coach in a large suburban district in Salt Lake County. Since 2019, I have served as a middle school and high school assistant principal in Utah, and was also honored to serve as a board member for the Utah chapter of the Association for Latino Administrators and Superintendents (ALAS-U). Our family was thrilled when the opportunity arose for us to relocate to Fort Collins and join Poudre School District. I have been in PSD since 2023, having served as an elementary AP and interim AP at Preston Middle.
My husband is a high school educator and we are the proud parents of two children, one attending Fort Lewis College and one attending Fort Collins High School. In our spare time we enjoy leisurely bike rides around town, listening to music, and hiking and camping. I also practice yoga regularly and consider it an important part of my work-life balance.
I am sincerely dedicated to the promise of public education for all students, and I’m so excited to be a part of a community that shares this dedication. I can’t wait to get to know our students and families as they pursue their aspirations. ¡Adelante, Boltz!
