INTRADO CORPORATION

I earned my bachelor's degree with honors in English at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. I met my husband Jack there and followed him out to Colorado where his family has owned a house in Lake City since the early 1960's. Jack and I started Cannibal Outdoors, a rafting and outdoor recreation company, in Lake City and ran it for about a decade in the 90's and early 2000's. During that time, I earned my master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Colorado, Boulder and did my teaching internship (student teaching) with English teacher Pat Wren right here at Gunnison High School! I also worked as an educational assistant under Chris Sigwort at the then-new alternative high school program in Gunnison. My first three years as a teacher were in the English classrooms of Paonia High School where I also coached basketball and track and produced the school newspaper and yearbook.
