    Welcome!

    Welcome to Hartford Sylvia Encinas Elementary! I look forward to working with students, staff, and families to provide the best educational experience possible to prepare the students for their future success!

    My Education and Professional Background

    I graduated with my bachelors in elementary education from the University of Northern Colorado and my masters in administration from ASU. I have been teaching since 2008 and love every minute of it! I have taught kindergarten, first grade, fifth grade, and been a math specialist prior to becoming Dean. 

    My Educational Philosophy

    I am passionate about developing leadership skills in teachers and students to take ownership of their teaching and learning, and finding the unique strengths within each and every person. I believe in being a life-long learner and the power of having a growth mindset, because with those two things, everyone is unstoppable in attaining their goals. My goal is to foster this mindset in all of our staff and students every day!
