I am originally from Illinois but, I have lived in Arizona for the last 24 years, and consider it my home.  I have been teaching for 20 years. In my career, I have taught kindergarten, first grade and second grade.  I have been teaching at Bellair school for 17 years and consider it my second home.  My family includes,my husband my 3 daughters, my son-in-law and a 11 month old granddaughter.  My daughters are 29, 27, and 23.  I love teaching 2nd grade and look forward to a new year.
