I am originally from Tempe, Arizona, but I lived and worked in public education in New Mexico from the fall of 1997 until June 2024.  I have my BA from Arizona State University in Secondary Education with a minor in History and earned my MA in Secondary Education in 2001 from the University of New Mexico.  

I served as a classroom teacher for twenty-two years and was in secondary administration for 5 years before coming on staff at Lemon Bay High as the MTSS Coordinator. .  

Throughout my career, I have focused on empowering both students and colleagues to succeed by encouraging them to develop their strengths and grow both through a rigorous, creative curriculum and high educational and professional standards. 

Having worked in public education for over twenty-seven years, I am familiar with the complex challenges facing educators and students today. I have always established high expectations for students and colleagues that get results, and I am thrilled to be a new member of the Lemon Bay family.
