About Me

I have two wonderful boys. Zachary attends Nothwestern College in Iowa and Jacob graduated from the Pima Fire Academy.  He is currently working as a volunteer fire fighter in Sonoita AZ and is training to become a PJ in the Air Force Reserves.

I grew up in Kansas City and return to visit my family as often as possible.  Travel is a passion of mine and I try to schedule a trip each summer.  I attended the University of Kansas for my bachelors degree and taught 7 years before raising my boys.  Then I attended the University of Arizona, where I received a mastor's degree in Speical Educaiton in 2014.

Office Hours are daily from 1:30-2:15 or after school by appointment.
