Hi! My name is Ariana (Ari) Ayup and I am joining the Knoles team as their new Beacon II teacher. I have just graduated from Northern Arizona University with degrees in Elementary and Special Education. I am very excited to be teaching in FUSD since I have grown up in the district and gradutated from FHS (Go Eagles!). I  also worked as a direct service provider in Flagstaff for the last four years, so it will be exciting to transition from working in the homes to working in the classroom! I live with my boyfriend and dog and I love to garden and take care of my house plants. Let's have a great year!!
