Hello, and welcome to my class!
To tell you a little bit about myself, this is my fourth year here at Mountain Ridge High School and my seventh year teaching within public education. In previous years I have worked with all grades, but I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with freshmen again.
I graduated from Northern Arizona University with my Bachelor's of Science in Education with an emphasis in English and a minor in History, and upon graduation I received Summa Cum Laude Latin honors in addition to Liberal Studies honors. While attending NAU I worked for the university's honors writing and mentoring programs as well as had the opportunity to be an HON101 facilitator.
On a personal note, I am originally from California and enjoy reading, playing with my dog Arlo, as well as hiking and skiing with my husband Michael.
I also wanted to say that while this school year presents many new and different challenges due to COVID19, I am here for each and every one of you. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions, concerns, or tech issues.
