Zea’s administrative mission for all students and staff is to sharpen: Leadership, Effort, Academic Excellence, Confidence, and their Resilience impact in the world around them. Zea maintains a Vision to provide a creative and sustainable Trauma-Informed education by equipping learners to be globally competent and locally relevant individuals.

Zea is a proud mom of two creative children and seven pets that she raises at 9,000 Elevation just outside of Estes Park. She enjoys camping, playing guitar, traveling and snuggling any of her 2 kids and 9 pets, but favors her Great Dane the most.

In her own words: I love serving our “At-Promise” students, they are the true definition of Grit! I am blessed to be part of this dedicated team and GOAL family.
