I am originally from the Midwest, but I consider Flagstaff my home. In 2004, I completed my student teaching in Germany.  This was an amazing experience for me and had many excursions around the world.  I graduated from NAU in 2004 and began my teaching career with FUSD in 2005.  I have continued my education through NAU  receiving my Master's degree in Elementary Education, K-12 Reading Endorsement, Middle School Endorsement, and an ESL Endorsement.  I am also appropriately certified to teach middle school math, social studies, and language arts.

I love being outdoors and camping.  My family and I spend lots of weekends camping and exploring Northern Arizona.
