I am excited to be the ACEConnect/Work Experience and Study (WES) Coordinator for TJ and I am looking forward to a great year. My teaching position is unique and my curriculum directly helps students become career ready. The WES program also facilitates connections between the student and a variety of career and technical education degree and certificate programs. I was a paralegal for several years at a law firm that specialized in family law. I volunteered for Arapahoe County as a probation officer for juvenile offenders and I volunteered at The Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center assisting children with disabilities to ride, groom and saddle their therapy horses. I am married to Herb Black and I have 2 adult children, Todd Byers and Julia Byers; and 2 adult Step-children Jen Black and Andrew Black. I enjoy hiking, bicycling, skiing and I learned to snowshoe. I also like to read mystery novels and travel.
