I love being a second-grade teacher and have been working at SkyView Academy since 2021. I graduated with my Bachelors from Colorado State University in 2017 (go Rams!). When I'm not hanging out with wonderful family and awesome friends, you can probably find me reading, writing, or playing volleyball.

I was born and raised in Colorado despite everyone else in my family is from Wisconsin. I moved away for college but moved back because there is no better place than Colorado. I’ve been married for 14 years to a wonderful man and we have two kids, ages 9 and 11. Working with kids of all ages has been my passion for 15 years now and I am so excited to get to know all the students and staff at SVA. Being in a school is my happy place. I love summer with its hiking, traveling, BBQ’s and concerts. I love winter for the cozy food, books, and snuggling under a blanket with my family watching movies.

Hello SVA community. I am entering my 8th year at SVA, and my 11th year teaching overall. My first 7 years at SVA were spent teaching 8th grade history. I loved teaching history. I am excited to enter a new role as MS Dean and leadership teacher. This is an exciting change and I look forward to serving the community, students, and teachers.
My wife also teaches in the middle school, and my son is in 2nd grade at SVA. So, I am very invested in the growth and success of SVA.
I love the outdoors and sports. I spend most of my summer camping and fishing. I am also an avid reader and I love movies.

Hi! I’m Alicia Brackney. I’ve been teaching in the Denver area since 2016 after marrying a wonderful Denver native who is also a teacher. In January of 2020, I gave birth to Emersyn Joy (EmJ for short), and she is the love of our lives. During this season, I’ve been enjoying playing with EmJ, cooking, and yoga.
As for my education and experience, I have a BA in Psychology and a MA in ELL. During the past decade, I have had the privilege of teaching 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and ELL. I’m very excited to teach 3rd grade again this year. I delight in teaching students this age as they are full of wonder, hugs, and hilarious stories!

I am excited to begin my 6th year at SkyView! I have been teaching various history classes across middle and high school for a total of 15 years in Texas and Colorado. My wife Jen and I have 3 kids, all of whom attend SkyView, so we love the community that exists here. Outside of the classroom, I love to travel with my family and create memories. I love all things Kansas City and would be lost without music. We love to get outside and explore all that Colorado has to offer.
