Hi- I started my love of teachig at Phoenix Day School for the Deaf (PDSD) and worked as a para-professional for eleven years.  After graduating from ASU with a Bachelor's Degree, I became a teacher at PDSD and continued to work with deaf children for the next two years.  In 2003 I started working at Mountain Ridge High School and have been here ever since.  One of my passions is to make students feel good about themselves and become confident with academics.
