I want to take a few minutes to share a little about my background so you can get to know me.  I grew up in Ohio, where I received my B.A. in education from Capital University.    I taught in Ohio prior to moving to Arizona.   In June 2004, I moved to Arizona with my three children: Alysia, Anthony and Giovanni.  I'm proud to share my children are graduates of Boulder Creek High School: Alysia ('12), Anthony ('15) and Giovanni ('16).   I have worked worked in DVUSD as a service coordinator, intervention specialist and school-to-work teacher/coordinator.   Currently, I'm the co-teacher for the Algebra 3-4 team (Mr. Coots, Ms. Brint and Ms. Eng).  In 2007, I completed my M.A. in educational leadership from Northern Arizona University.
