Welcome to 8th Grade Science! I am looking forward to an amazing year!  In 1995, I earned a degree in Elementary and Special Education from Northern Arizona University. I have been teaching in Arizona ever since and love it! Over the years, I've enjoyed teaching many different areas, including; Special Education, Kindergarten, Preschool, Developmental Preschool, 4th grade and 6th grade. Last year I moved to 8th grade and love it! I can't wait for another great year in 8th grade science.  I have been at Diamond Canyon since 2007. Diamond Canyon is an amazing school and I am very proud to be a part of the DC team. Not only am I an educator at DC, but both of my children went to DC. They are no longer at DC, but once a Coyote, always a Coyote!! 

 
We've called Anthem home since 2001. My husband Dave and I love it here and thoroughly enjoyed raising our children here.  We love everything the community has to offer. What an amazing place to raise a family. Our children, Briana and Brayden, went to Diamond Canyon and both graduated from Boulder Creek. We are in the process of becoming empty nesters and we cherish the memories of raising our children here. We love participating in family activities together, including traveling, swimming, playing games and walking the Anthem trails with our dog Harley.  One of our favorite places to travel is Massachusetts. We usually go there every summer to visit family.  
 
It is going to be a fantastic year, and I look forward to working with you and your child. I know we will make a great team!
