Teacher Bio

This is my 18th year teaching here in the Laveen Elementary School District, and Estrella Foothills is my third campus in the district.

Prior to moving to Arizona, I grew up in Michigan and attended Michigan State University. I continued my education through Northern Arizona University’s distance Master’s Program in reading.  This year, I am starting another Master’s Porgram through NAU.

My hobbies include traveling to historic places or reading. I’m constantly on the move and that has resulted in me taking on the hobby of running races (half marathons where and when I can).   When not traveling, running or buried in a book, I avidly volunteer out in the community.
