My name is Bridget Smith and I am the ASD Teacher. I have been teaching since 2010. I started in Jeffco last year in 2017. I have a Master's in Special Education, with an Autism Certificate from Regis University. I love working with students with autism and helping each student be successful in school! Outside of school I enjoy being outside hiking, biking, and running obstacle races. I also spend a lot of time at the dog park with my dog, Carlie.
