I am a certified teacher with 13 years of experience teaching English, test prep, college prep, and leadership classes. I received my bachelor's in music education from Grand Canyon University, and my master's in educational leadership from Northern Arizona University. I have a passion for reading and love to help my students find their own passion as well. I have taught all grade levels from 4th grade through 10th grade, and have extensive experience with middle school.

I believe that all students can learn and be successful, and that all students have unique strengths. I work hard in my classroom to ensure that students can be successful, often finding new ways for them to express their learning.

Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, and exercising.
