• I am originally from Warwick, New York. I moved to Arizona in 1990 to attend Arizona State University.  After graduating from the greatest university on the planet, I began teaching in the Scottsdale School District, first at Mohave Middle School, then at Desert Mountain High School for 8 years.  During this time I used my summers to travel around the country and earn my masters degree from Northern Arizona University.  After getting married and buying a house in Chandler, I really wanted to teach in the community in which I lived.  In 2003, I was hired at Chandler High where my journey in teaching and education continues.  I am very fortunate to have a job I love- teaching the best class there is to the best kids there are!
