With 25 years of government service combined with a Master's degree in Public Management from Northern Arizona University and a Bachelor's in Political Science from the University of Arizona, I bring a wealth of knowledge and real-world experience to my teaching. I am dedicated to helping students excel in subjects like History, Political Science, Public Speaking and Writing/English. My teaching philosophy centers on tailoring lesson plans to meet the unique needs of each student, creating a supportive environment where students feel engaged and motivated to learn by connecting course material to their interests for optimal applicability. I am committed to fostering academic growth and confidence in my students, particularly in public speaking and writing, as I believe these skills are essential for success in any field.

I am a graduate of Northern Arizona University. I received a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. Since graduation, I have been teaching kindergarten in Gilbert Public Schools. I love teaching and have always enjoyed helping others be successful. I love all subjects, but I love history the most. Teaching is my passion, but I do expect students to be able to have a fun and structured learning environment. I've realized that students do best with consistency and genuine care. I try to make my classroom fun and structured! My students get to enjoy their learning experiences and I get to enrich their learning with fun and structured activities and lessons. I love teaching, but I also enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and growing as a student myself! I believe in continuing my life in education and building a great foundation not only for my students but for my own children.

I have a master's degree in physics with research emphasis in astrophysics from San Francisco State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in physics and astronomy with a minor in math. Currently I am an adjunct instructor at Mesa Community College teaching astrophysics courses. I have four years of teaching experience in astronomy and physics lab courses at San Francisco State University. I acquired excellent teaching skills while I was a graduate student at San Francisco State University for which I even received an honor of outstanding physics teaching assistant from San Francisco State University. I was also a math instructor for a Summer Bridge program at San Francisco state University where my responsibility was to teach first year college algebra. I have tutored kids in the age group of 8 to 15 in the subject areas of science and math. I tutor math (calculus, differential equations, algebra, geometry and trigonometry) and science courses (physics, astrophysics, planetary science). I enjoy teaching in general and am passionate about math, physics and astronomy. I firmly believe that education is one of the most important tools in shaping a child's life and I would love to be a part of that process. In my past experience I have noticed many students struggle with subjects like math and physics and my goal is to try to make it a fun experience for them. In my spare time I enjoy reading books, biking, hiking , running and snow boarding. During my graduate program I liked volunteering at our college observatory and I still like to take my telescope out occasionally for star gazing.

I enjoy seeing students enjoy learning and becoming empowered by what they can accomplish. I have frequently told my students that my job is to work myself out of a job; I want them to learn how to learn so they no longer need me! I have reached this point with many of my students, and it makes for a great ending.I really enjoy a lot of "Nerdy" things; Star Wars and Harry Potter are two of my biggest "Fandoms"! I love games and puzzles and find math to be one of those. I have raised four amazing adults and love being a grandma! I love the outdoors, camping and hiking are my favorites. I love to cook and spend time with family and friends. I am also a football fan and love the Green bay Packers!I look forward to the next great adventure!

I received my master's degree from Northern Arizona University in Rhetoric, Writing, and Digital Media Studies. I taught English composition as an adjunct faculty at BYU-Idaho for two years.
