• I have enjoyed teaching at Sierra Verde for the past 17 years and am looking forward to being your child's teacher this year.  Originally, I am from coastal North Carolina.  Arizona became my home in 1993 and I love the Sierra Verde community.

    I have an amazing husband, Dave, and 2 daughters, Bella and Amanda. Bella is an aerospace engineer in California. Amanda is attending college. We have an adorable and loveable dog, Grace.  I enjoy reading books, riding my bike, traveling during the summer, spending time with family and friends, kayaking, and doing puzzles.  The majority of my free time is spent hanging out with my wonderful family.

    Now that you know a little about me, I can't wait to learn about all of you. :)

  • E-mail is the quickest way to reach me, as I am checking it sporadically throughout the day. Phone calls will be returned within 24 hours during the school week.

    I am available before and after school, with the exception of occasional staff/teacher meetings and family obligations. Please email or call if you need to schedule a meeting with me to ensure that I am available. 

    Thank you and I look forward to our partnership in your child's education.
