I received my bachelors in elementary education with a science focus from Northern Arizona University in 1999.  During my career I have also attained an early childhood endorsement, an ESL endorsement, and a gifted endorsement.  During the first part of my carreer I taught English as a Second Language, second grade, third grade, and fourth grade.  Three years ago I took on a new adventure and moved up to teach 5th grade science.  I started out my career in the Washington Elementary District and moved to the Deer Valley School District in 2005.  When I came to Deer Valley School District I opened up West Wing School.  I spent 13 years at West Wing and this will be my second year at Sonoran Foothills school. I am looking forward to a great year.
