Hi there! I’m Elise Jones, a 4th and 5th grade literacy and social studies teacher. Prior to joining Teller, I taught in DPS at Trevista Elementary and Mackintosh Academy, an independent school for Gifted & Talented students.
I hold a BA in Economics and a Master’s in Education from CU Denver. Prior to teaching, I worked in tech startups and consulting in New York City and Sweden! While volunteering with children, I discovered that my true calling is working with young people. As an educator, I believe that learning is inherently rewarding and should be a joy filled endeavor.
When I’m not at work, I can be found racing in triathlons or exploring the mountains with my husband, Scott, and miniature dachshund, Olive.
