Biography

     This is my second year at Redbird, but by no means my second year teaching.  I have been teaching since 1985.  That is 24 years of teaching students in the Mesa District.  A majority of those years were teaching First grade and Kindergarten students at Webster Elementary.  I also was a Librarian for 8 years there, and taught research and reading skills to students K-6th grade.  I have a BA in Elementary Education from ASU, and a Masters in Elementary Education from NAU.  I also have Library and ESL endorsements. 

     Even though I have been teaching all those years, I still get butterfies in my stomach on that first day of school each year.  I love my job and am happy to be back in First grade.  First graders are inquisitve, love books, and always want a good laugh, sort of like me!  I think this is why we get along so well. 

     I feel so honored to be your child's teacher, and look forward to discovering his/her delightful personality. It is my goal to create a safe place emotionally and academically for your child. We are going to have a fantastic year!  Please feel free to ask questions as they come up.  I can be contacted at (480) 472-1235.
