Hello Vikings! I am so excited about being your teacher for the 2024-2025 school year. Our year is going to be filled with excitement and learning! I am enthusiastic about education and helping students. I look forward to having an unforgettable year!  

My educational background starts here at DVUSD when I graduated from Boulder Creek High School. I went on to get a bachelor's degree from Northern Arizona University in Interdisciplinary Studies with an emphasis in Speech-Languages Sciences and Technology to help those with speech and language disorders. Upon graduating college, I went on to be a paraprofessional and a speech and language pathology assistant. I found my love for working with children and decided to go back to school to earn my Master of Education degree in special education from Arizona State University. I have worked as a special education teacher for 6 years and will be entering my 11th year working in education overall this year! 

I am married to my high school sweetheart and have two children, Liam (12) and Winnie (8). When I am not at school, I enjoy reading, listening to music, playing video games, swimming, doing crafts with my children, and online shopping.

Please do not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions or concerns.
