I am a California native and have been living in Arizona for a few years.  My children and grandchildren all live in Arizona now.  When the last of them decided to relocate, so did I.  Suprisingly (to me) I am really enjoying Arizona and all the wonderful people I have met.  Arizona and Deer Valley are finally starting to feel like home to me.  

I am a graduate of Cal State University, Fullerton, with a BA in English.  I have taught at the middle and high school levels for over 18 years.  I've enjoyed my first years at Deer Valley High School and am so glad that I am returning for this year.    

Here's hoping for a wonderful school year!  I look forward to meeting all of my new students and to seeing those who are returning.  It will be very exciting to see what this school year has in store.
