    Welcome!

    I am so excited to be here at Chandler High! I am originally from Oregon and have a wonderful husband and two young boys. We love to travel together, eat out, and spend time with our animals.

    My Education and Professional Background

    I earned my undergraduate degree in Education from Arizona State and my Masters in Counseling from Ottawa University and working towards another advance degree in Trauma with Grand Canyon University.

    My Educational Philosophy

    High School can be a challenging time for all students; academically, peer pressure, family/friendship/workforce challenges, scholarship/grant/college applications, managing extracurricular activities, and so much more. Unfortunately students tend to try to take this on themselves and my goal is to remind them that I am here for support. I believe in ALL students and want ALL students to feel safe, valued, challenged, supported, and respected. I am looking forward to being a part of many more success stories here at Chandler! Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about your student and I'd be happy to assist. Go Wolves!
