Some work history about me . . .

This is my third year as a Dual Enrollment WRT101/102 Instructor, in partnership with Pima Community College, for Ironwood Ridge High School. 

My partnership with the Amphitheater school district began in 2004, when I was hired as a Middle School reading and writing teacher at Coronado K-8 school. In my 19 years with the Amphitheater school district, I have held a variety of positions; English/Language Arts teacher, Gifted Specialist, REACH Internship Instructor, REACH Humanities instructor, and English Language Development Specialist.

Prior to my employment within the Amphi school district, I was an English / Language Arts / Newspaper-Journalism / Dual Credit educator at Casa Grande Union High School where I taught sophomores and seniors for 10 years. During that same time period, I also worked as an Adjunct Communications Professor for Central Arizona College teaching English Composition-Writing 101/102.
