I have been teaching high school since 1997 and have been at Mountain Ridge since 1999.  My educational background consists of a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and Secondary Education from Ottawa University.  I have a minor in Computer Science. I have extensive coursework in Career and Technical Education toward my Master's Degree. I have the following Arizona Department of Education certifications as well as Career and Technical Education Certifications:

• Secondary Education (7-12)
• Cooperative Education Endorsement (K-12)
• CTE: Business and Marketing Education
• CTE: Education and Training
• Structured English Immersion Endorsement

I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to teach online for DVUSD for the Information Technology, Business Operations, and Media Productions courses. I am currently teaching the Media Productions, Advanced and Intermediate Media Productions course.  I have also been an adjunct faculty member at Rio Salado Community College online and on our campus for CIS105, CIS133DA and CIS233DC dual enrollment on Mountain Ridge's campus. We are happy to offer dual enrollment in our Media Productions program with CIS120DK and CIS220DK.  I served MRHS as the CTE Department Chair since 2002.  I am a co-sponsor of FBLA (Media).  I love Mountain Ridge High School!
