    Welcome!

    I am very excited to be the Dean of Students at Conley Elementary! I am looking forward to I bring all of my experience and dedication for student learning to my role as Dean of Students. I look forward to working with students, families, and staff to promote a positive learning environment. A goal of mine is to teach students to reflect on their behavior and how it affects them, both in and out of the classroom. I look forward to getting to know you and your children.

    My Education and Professional Background

    I started my educational career at South Mountain Community College where I earned my Associate’s degree. From there I transferred over to Arizona State University (Go Devils!) where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. Once I received my teaching certificate I started teaching for Mesa Public Schools. I worked there for three years and then made the move to Chandler Unified School. I taught for 6 years at CTA Independence and then 3 years at Elite Performance Academy. During those years I earned my Master's Degree from Grand Canyon University. I moved to Tarwater Elementary School as the Dean of Students and was there for 2 years.

    My Educational Philosophy

    I believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a safe, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my hope as an educator to help students achieve their fullest potential by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. There are three elements that I believe are beneficial to creating such an environment, (1) the teacher acting as a guide, (2) allowing the child's natural curiosity to direct his/her learning by forming a hypothesis and testing it, and (3) promoting respect for all people and all things. In short promoting good citizenship.
