I am a proud graduate of the University of Arizona here in Tucson. While my undergraduate work focused on Elementary Education and Visual Art (I am an artist, too, and love creating visual art), my graduate work focused on School Leadership, with a focus in Principalship. I've worked as an educator in Southern Arizona for many years, including in the border town of Naco, Sonora, Mexico. I love empowering students to understand and tackle Mathematics, and to see the connections between Math, Visual Art, and everyday life. I absolutely love working with kids and young adults, and fostering the passion to become a lifelong learner.
