About Dina

My husband and I were born and raised in Tucson.  We have three incredible children ages 19, 16 and 9. We are dog lovers and have a pit bull mix named Bandit…he’s 5 :). In my free time I enjoy spending time visiting with friends and family at home, watching University of Arizona basketball, internet surfing, reading and shopping.

I began working for the district in 1998 at Prince Elementary and in 2003 helped establish the Parents as Teachers Program (PAT).  I really love supervising PAT.  I enjoy watching the longtime partnership that develops between the PAT educators and the families who are involved in the program. 

Each year when I observe all the positive impacts parental involvement has on children, especially when it begins at an early stage in their life, I stay inspired to do my best!
