I am an Arizona native and grew up in the west valley.  I graduated from Northern Arizona University in 1992 with a Master's Degree in Physical Therapy.  I started working in the schools when I joined DVUSD in 1999.  I earned my Doctor of Physical Therapy from AT Still Univeristy in 2007 and a Master's Degree in School Based Physical and Occupational Therapy in 2009 from the University of Oklahoma.  I work with students in DVUSD in all settings including preschool through high school.  When I am not working with children, I enjoy crocheting and painting as well as reading books and camping with my family.
