Professional Information
I started working with student athletes as a Field Hockey Coach at PVHS in 2007. I coached through out college while also working at Bidwell Perk and T-Bar. Once I graduated I had a special opportunity to work at Park View Elementary School as a IPS Health Care Aide in the moderate to severe special education classroom. After working at Park View for a year I knew I had to get my credential so I came back to the junior high I went to which is Bidwell Junior High. I was lucky enough to do my student teaching here with Corina Puruzzi and also work for Matt Wardlow at BLAST. After finishing the credential program in 2014 I stayed working and subbing here at Bidwell. This last year I have had the honor of taking the torch and becoming the Coordinator of BLAST.
Personal Information
I was raised here in Chico with my little sister Rachel Grimm. Me and my Husband have two wonderful kids, Emma (5 months) and Porter (2 years). We love to go on adventures in the park, mountain biking, disc golfing, and being with the whole family.
