    Welcome!

    Welcome to Carlson, 6th grade. I am so proud to be part of CUSD. I was born in Phoenix, but lived near Philadelphia, PA most of my childhood. I now live in Chandler with my husband Rob, a math teacher at ACP High School, my son Jude who is a freshman at ACP High School, my daughter, Quinn, who is in 6th grade at Carlson, and my kitties, Sunny and Luna. I graduated from ASU and love the Beatles. I enjoy traveling, the outdoors, being creative, and spending time with my family.
