I graduated from the University of Arizona (Bear Down!) with both my BA and MA in Education.  I am also certified to teach gifted instruction.  I have taught at several schools across the state of Arizona, finally settling in Chandler and helping to open Perry High School in 2007, where I served as the first English Department Chair.  During my last ten years at Perry, I taught Advanced Placement Language and Composition.  My additional roles at Perry include serving as the Dual Enrollment Liaison and the School Improvement Coordinator.  I also serve as the advisor for the National Honor Society.
