The 2024-2025 school year marks my 31st year of teaching in the Deer Valley Unified School District! I earned my bachelor's degree from ASU (go Devils!) and my master’s degree in early childhood education, along with a reading specialist endorsement, from NAU. My background includes teaching kindergarten through second grade, working as a reading specialist, and serving as a language immersion mentor.
This is my first year as a Pirate at Norterra Canyon, and I’m thrilled to meet the students and families in this community. Teaching children to read is my passion, and I feel fortunate to be at Norterra Canyon this year. As a native Arizonan, I’ve been happily married for 32 years and have two adult children: Audrey, who lives in Nashville, and Taylor, who resides nearby. In my free time, I enjoy reading, painting, traveling, camping, and off-roading in my Jeep.
