• I am so excited to be working with you and your child this year.

    I was born and raised in Oklahoma.  I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education.  I traveled and lived in Europe and Egypt for 7 years after graduating, then moved to Arizona. I enjoy traveling and exploring new places.  I have a 6 year old yellow labrador, Summer, that runs the house.  She is slightly spoiled and super sweet!  If I could bring her to school, she'd want to come every day and hang out with us! 

    I have two amazing daughters that also attended Las Brisas Elementary.  They have both finished their undergraduate degrees.  Kendall is a cardiac ICU nurse, taking care of heart transplant patients. She loves to stay busy, working in the ICU keeps her on her toes.  Payton graduated from FIDM, with a degree in  Marketing and Product Development.  She has a very creative eye for design. We all travel to see each other quite often throughout the year.  We love to explore new areas and just hang out together.  Being the mom of two educated, beautiful human beings is the best!!

    I have been involved with Las Brisas either through volunteering or teaching for the past 17 years.  I have taught 3rd through 6th grade.  I love teaching Math and Science. 

    We problem solve all day long in my classroom!
