I am the Elementary Technology Teacher for all students in Kindergarten through 5th Grade. After working in the corporate world as a Project Manager for many years, I made a career change to education with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from Regis University and a Master's Degree in Educational Technology from Boise State University. I previously taught Kindergarten and Tech in Denver Public Schools and spent 3 years as the 5th Grade Math Teacher here at PRA. 

 I was born in raised in New York, and now live in Lafayette. I love enjoying all that beautiful Colorado has to offer with my husband, three kids, Julia, Eddie (both PRA students), our toddler, Margaret, as well as our dog, Macie. I love camping, skiing, hiking, food, photography, cooking, and lots more.

Hello! My name is Veronica Nelson and I am the Elementary Art Teacher. I've been a part of our PRA community since 2012. To share a little about myself, I have a bachelors in Art Education from Colorado State University and a Masters from the University of Northern Colorado in Art Education. Working with young people has always been a sincere passion of mine, and of course, exploring the vast realm of art. We have a lot of fun and engaging art projects planned and I look forward to embracing the artistic process and building relationships with your children. Cheers to another fabulous year here at PRA!

Hello! My name is Karin Irvin and I am so excited to be the new K-8 Library Media Specialist at PRA. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Fort Lewis College and a Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Elementary Reading from Grand Canyon University. I was an elementary classroom teacher for 6 years before deciding to stay home with my kids full-time. 

I am a proud Colorado native, born and raised in Louisville. My husband and I have 3 kids who will all be attending PRA this year. They keep me pretty busy with all their activities, but in my free time I love to read and play as much pickleball as I can. I am looking forward to sharing my love of reading with all the students at PRA!

I am Ms. Rosebrook and am super excited to teach Elementary P.E. with Ms. Morse! I earned my masters degree in curriculum and instruction from Emporia State University in the winter of 2019.  My bachelor's degree is in Sports and Exercise Science with an emphasis in K-12 Physical Education from The University of Northern Colorado.

Throughout my childhood and teen years I participated in a variety of sports.  My favorites are swimming, softball, Tae Kwon Do, and volleyball.  My love of being active is what steered me towards Physical Education.  I am married, have one daughter, who is in first grade at PRA this year, and two cats. In my spare time I enjoy reading, baking, and spending time outdoors with my family.

This is my ninth year teaching elementary PE at PRA. I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with my teaching degree in 2012. My hometown was Greeley, Colorado and after high school I attended a junior college in Kansas where I also played softball. I earned my undergraduate degree from Cameron University in Oklahoma. I enjoy the energy and enthusiasm that elementary students bring into PE. In my free time, I love hiking, biking, running, and stand up paddle boarding.
