Welcome to my class!

I started with Amphitheater School District as a Special Education Teaching Assistant.  I received my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Prescott College (after doing my student teaching in first grade at Copper Creek).  I have my teaching endorsements in Early Childhood Ed. and English as a Second Language. I taught first grade for 4 years, kindergarten for 12 years. I've been teaching Special Education for 4 school years. I completed my Special Education Post Graduate Certification, May 2019. I am happy to be currently teaching at Rillito Center.  I have served on the District Teacher Advisory for 9 years, School Site Council and PTO Representative.  I've been trained in Bal-A-Vis-X and Hand Writing without Tears.  I have been on the STEAM committee and the Ben's Bells Kindness committee. I hope I can help your child to grow in confidence and independence as we journey together this school year.
