I am a passionate educator with over 20 years of experience, dedicated to helping all students achieve success. I firmly believe that every learner can succeedthough success may look different for each individual. Through the years, I have learned that each child learns in their own way and at their own pace. I find it deeply rewarding to discover what helps them learn and to witness those inspiring "aha" moments when it all comes together.
I hold a dual certification in Elementary and Secondary Education, along with a Master's in Curriculum & Instruction, a Master's in Educational Administration, and a Bachelor of Science in Business. While I am qualified to teach a wide range of subjects, my true passion lies in Language Arts and History. My goal is to inspire confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning in every student I work with.

I have a wide range of hobbies and interests. In my spare time, I enjoy watching all types of sports, with Arizona teams being my favorite! I also love reading across all genres, though historical fiction and science fiction are my top picks. I'm a theater enthusiast and frequently attend plays. I find live performance both inspiring and enriching.
