I started my teaching career in 1995. I graduated from Arizona State University in 1996 with a degree in Special Education. I also received a Master's in Elementary Education from Northern Arizona University. Currently, I hold the following certificates: Elementary Education, Learning Disabilities, and Sped. Mild Moderate Mental Handicap. Prior to coming to Chandler in 1999, I taught in the Laveen School District. Since being in the CUSD district, I have had the pleasure of teaching at Knox Elementary, CTA Goodman, and now Payne Junior High. I have always carried a love for math, and now I am fortunate enough to focus on my true passion.
