I have been teaching since 2000. I began my teaching career in San Manuel, AZ. I received my National Board Certification in Early Childhood Generalist in November of 2011. I joined the Maricopa Unified School District family in the fall the of 2013. I have been a New Teacher Mentor in our District since 2016. Early Childhood Education has always been a passion of mine. I love teaching my students with hands on activities and lessons that inspire creativity and learning.

My hobbies include cooking, crafting, and spending quality family time with my husband of 28 years and our 3 children. I recently became a grandmother for the fist time and am loving every minute I can spend with him.
