East Central BOCES Staff

Craig joined East Central BOCES as their new Director of Financial Services May 24, 2019.  Prior to that, Craig worked 14 years as the Fiscal Director at Limon Child Development Center.  Craig was the Board President of East Central BOCES for almost 2 years as he is also the President of the Limon School Board.  He stepped down from the BOCES Board as he accepted this position.  Craig is an avid traveler.  He travels to National Parks and Monuments and has visited over 340 of the 421 US National Park Service sites.  He also enjoys traveling to Disney Parks and pretty much traveling anywhere.   In Limon, Craig is active with the Limon School Board, Limon Alumni Association, and several other community organizations.  

I have worked for East Central BOCES since August 1991. I started working for East Central BOCES as a Family Resource Specialist and have moved into administration.  I am a Colorado Native graduating from Limon High School. I currently live in Strasburg, CO with my husband who works at the local electric company. We have three boys who all graduated from Strasburg School District. I love working at East Central BOCES and supporting the rural school districts in our administrative unit. 

I've worked for East Central BOCES since 1986.  I started with the BOCES as an Occupational Therapist and then moved into administrative responsibilities over the years. Working in our rural schools has been very rewarding.  I enjoy each day working in our schools because of the amazing students, passionate educators, engaged parents and other professional team members who truly want to work in rural schools.  I enjoy many hobbies like embroidery, sewing, photography, and spending time with grandchildren and family.  

Emma has been with ECBOCES for eleven years, managing the Distance Learning program.  She lives on a cattle ranch south of Pueblo with her husband, Mark.  Mark and Emma have five children and twelve grandchildren.  Emma loves spending time with her family, helping with the ranch and spending time in the mountains.  In her spare time, she is an avid photographer.  

Mitzi has worked for East Central BOCES for eight years and has benefitted from EC BOCES programs to support students, teachers, administrators, and board members for more than 20 years.  She is a native of Deer Trail and lives in Burlington, where she and her husband Greg raised their three daughters.  She enjoys visiting National Parks and cheering on the Denver Broncos and Colorado Rockies with her family (although they are all Red Sox fans).

I was born and raised in Limon - a true Limon Badger, I truly bleed black & white :)  I live in Limon with my husband, Chris and my two kids.  My FAVORITE thing to do is watch my kids in ALL their activities.  They keep us busy with sports, band, and all the fun   Baseball/Softball is probably my favorite!  We have many of our extended family members that also live in Limon or close to us - so we enjoy spending as much time with them as possible.

I enjoy any Christmas Hallmark movie - from the months of October to December.  I enjoy cooking, baking, reading all kinds of books, and following my very busy kids around to all their events.  I even enjoy a fun concert here and there.   

I have worked as a School Psychologist for the BOCES, and am now a Special Education Coordinator.  I have worked with the BOCES since 2004, and have enjoyed learning so much, and working with some of the BEST people ever.  I am always willing to help anyone seeking support.     

I've worked for the BOCES since 2003.  I am a school psychologist and special education coordinator.  Prior to working for the BOCES I was a special education teacher and a PE teacher.

Working in rural Colorado is very rewarding. I enjoy the connections in the schools not only with student, teachers and administrators but also the parents.   Having these relationships allows for a stronger partnership for supporting students.

My hobbies include gardening/plants, healthy living, cooking and self development.  I am a life long learner and enjoy new information and new experiences to keep me motivated.

I have been a certified, practicing audiologist for more than 30 years. I have worked in a hospital Audiology Clinic, a non-profit speech/language and learning clinic, case management &  professional advocacy services for individuals with developmental disabilities, private practice, and the schools during the course of my career. I am passionate about understanding the neuroscience of learning and have specialized for many years in auditory and language processing disorders. I have a private practice where I complete diagnostic evaluations for individuals with auditory and language processing concerns as well as providing interventions and therapy for these disorders. I also love to teach others about neuroscience and the brain and have worked with more than 60 preschools, childcare centers and private schools to train their staff members so they are better prepared to support the learning needs of children.

This will be my ninth year at ECBOCES, serving the member districts as Gifted Education Consultant/Gifted Coordinator. Previously, I taught at the elementary level in Byers and Bennett. I live in Bennett with my husband and we have three young adult kids. I grew up on a ranch in Wyoming and appreciate rural life. Outside of work, I love to hike in the mountains, knit, hang out with my two dogs, and count the days until my kids come home from college. 

Hi! I'm from southwestern Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh (go Steelers!). I grew up in a very rural school district, similar to some of the districts we serve. I'm a University of Pittsburgh (BS) and PennWest University (MS, EdS) alum. I love being an ECBOCES school psychologist!

My kids are my mini goldendoodle, Ollie, and very large house cat, Remy.  My fiancé, Nathan, and I grew up together and have been together since high school.  In our free time we love to hike, enjoy live music, and explore Colorado!

I'm Alex! This is my 8th year at BOCES as a Speech Language Pathologist on the east end. I've lived in eastern Colorado all of my life and love being in the same town as all of my family. We have lots of fun with game nights! I also have a cute little dog named Macy :)

Tambria loves her job as a speech assistant and considers the interactions with “her” kids the best part of everyday.  When not working, Tambria likes to travel to Chicago to visit her daughter, spending time with her animals (including horses, chickens, cats, and a dog), and soaking up the quiet country life with her husband Scott.  She lives in Calhan, Colorado.

I have been a Speech Pathologist Assistant with Boces since 2011. I have been married for  5 years and live in Commerce City. My 17 yr. old step daughter is a senior this year, my 3 yr. old son is heading to part time prek, and my 4 month old son will be going to daycare! I love traveling, going to concerts, hiking when I can and hope to start playing golf this year.  

I have worked for the E.C. BOCES since fall of 2016 (plus one year in 06/07) as a Speech-language Pathologist.  I live in St. Francis, Kansas where I grew up. I moved back here in 2016 to be near my mom and our cropland.  I previously lived in the Denver, CO area for 30 years and worked for Jefferson County Public Schools for 15 years.  I have two cats (Lionel and Tommy) and help care for my mom's small dog (Frankie a girl).  I have enjoyed being back in NW Kansas connecting with old friends, and working in Eastern Colorado.  I enjoy the rural open scenery when driving to my various assignments.  I still enjoy spending time in the Denver area when I am able.
