I have lived in Arizona my entire life, and I am a product of the Amphitheater School District. I went to Harelson, Cross, and Canyon Del Oro High school. I am now teaching second grade in my old second grade classroom. I love to spend time with my family and friends. I enjoy reading, camping, fishing, and horseback riding. I have a passion for teaching and learning, and this will be an amazing adventure! I had many teachers that motivated me to be a life-long learner, and I believe that we should encourage our students to be creative, engaged, and interested in learning about the world around them. I started out teaching at Painted Sky, where I taught kindergarten, first, and second grade before moving to Harelson.
