About Me

Ms. O'Connor
I grew up in Illinois. After high school, I went to college and studied Biology and English. While in college, I edited my school's newspaper. I have lived in the Denver area since 2005. My husband Matt, my son Russell, my daughter Annella and I live in Brighton along with our dog Chole Jo (AKA Stinky Jo) and our cats Chubs McGee and Tybalt. My hobbies include playing goofy games with my kids, reading, writing, and gardening.
