Thank you for stopping by and visiting my webpage.  I am originally from New Jersey.  I moved to Arizona  to pursue a  Master’s Degree in Education. I started teaching in the  Amphitheater District in August of 1981. I spent 32 years at Donaldson Elementary and one year at Harelson. I moved to Keeling  my 7 years ago. In my spare time I love to cook, travel, exercise, spend time outdoors, and do volunteer work.  I am thrilled to be part of an amazing team of teachers and the staff here at Keeling!

I have one daughter, Megan, who is a Pharamcy Technician at Banner Hospital here in Tucson. Teaching is my passion! Watching my students grow and learn makes everyday special.

Defining Moment in my Education

From the time I was a little girl, I've wanted to be a teacher.  My mother told me as a child, I played school in our basement by myself pretending to be the children as well as the teacher.  I've had  teachers that made impressions on me, but mainly, I love learning and knowing I can make a difference in children's lives.

Why I Teach at Keeling

There is a special atmosphere here at Keeling that you don’t find too many places. The students and families are so appreciative of everything we do for them! Our dedicated staff is passionate about making Keeling the BEST is can be!   KIDS ALWAYS COME FIRST at KEELING!  I love that Keeling AVID School always working for success with our students1
