I have been teaching high school since 1997 and have been at Mountain Ridge since 1999. It is hard to believe that I am going into my 22nd year as it has gone by so fast. My educational background consists of a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration and Secondary Education from Ottawa University.  I have a minor in Computer Science. I have extensive coursework in Career and Technical Education towards my Master's Degree. I have the following Arizona Department of Education certifications as well as Career and Technical Education Certifications:

• Secondary Education (7-12)
• Cooperative Education Endorsement (K-12)
• CTE: Business and Marketing Education
• CTE: Education and Training
• Stuctured English Immersion Endorsement
• Adult Education
• CTE: Industrial and Emerging Technologies

I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to teach online for DVUSD for the Business Operations and Media Productions courses. I am currently teaching the Media Productions, Advanced and Intermediate Media Productions course at MRHS.  I have also been an adjunct faculty member at Rio Salado Community College online and on our campus for CIS105, CIS133DA and CIS233DC dual enrollment on Mountain Ridge's campus. This year, we are excited to add dual enrollment in our Media Productions program with CIS120DK and CIS220DK.  I  currently serve as the CTE Department Chair.  I teach online for Deer Valley Online Media Productions 1 and Media Productions 2 courses along with Business Operations 1 and Business Operations 2.   I am co-sponsor of Future Business Leaders (FBLA) -  Media for Mountain Ridge.
