My family and I moved from Colorado to Arizona five years ago! I am a native of Arizona but my husband was born and raised in Colorado. Can you guess which one of us couldn’t wait to feel the heat of Phoenix? My husband. After shoveling snow for years he couldn’t wait for the sunshine in beautiful Arizona. I on the other hand will miss the four seasons in the Denver Metro area of Colorado. We have five amazing children at 21, 18, 10, 5, and 3 years old. I started my teaching career in Phoenix 17 years ago. I have taught in special education and general education classrooms and I love working with students of all ages and backgrounds. The three things I love the most in life are being a wife, a mother, and a teacher. I am passionate about contributing to the success of others.
