A native of New York, more specifically the Adirondack Mountains, I have lived in Arizona for 22 years.   For 20 of those years, I have been teaching in the Deer Valley Unified School District.  This is my 13th year at Highland Lakes.  My husband also works for Deer Valley, and I have two wonderful girls, one that attends Highland Lakes and one that attends Deer Valley High School.  Hiking, reading, going to the movies and spending time with my family are my favorite things to do!
