Welcome!  My name is Cindy Kirin, Health Aide for Copper Creek Elementary School's Health Office.  In 1999, my family and I moved to Arizona due to a job change for my husband, Rick. I have two children; they attended Amphitheater schools and both are graduates of Ironwood Ridge High School.  My daughter is also a graduate of the University of Arizona and my son is currently in the Navy.

I was influenced to pursue a career in health care by both of my aunts; they were Operating Room Nurses.  I spent time with them and my cousins over many summer vacations.  I loved touring the hospital units and operating rooms where they worked.  I graduated from Choffin School of Practical Nursing.  I have over 20 years of clinical experience.  I started working at Copper Creek in 2000.

My primary role is to support student success by addressing their health needs during the school day.  I provide support for students with chronic health conditions so that these students may safely stay in school.  I help coordinate healthcare plans for students with food allergies, diabetes, seizures and asthma.  I also oversee medication administration for students who need medication during the school day.  Annual screenings for vision and hearing are also a part of my duties.  I enjoy taking care of children and working with the amazing staff at Copper Creek.
