I want to start by introducing myself, I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary and Special Education. This will be my 7^th year teaching. For 2 years, I taught K-2 Special Education at a different school and now work with students in 4th-6^th grade. This summer I celebrated my 4th anniversary with my husband, who is also a teacher, at Deer Valley Middle School. I just had my first baby in April, Aurora, and she is amazing! I also have one fur-baby, a Corgi/Chihuahua named Archie, who I love to pieces. I am originally from California, moved to Flagstaff for college and then moved down to Phoenix to teach, so I am still getting used to the heat!
