Meet the Teacher
A little about me:
This is my 18th year as an educator, and my second year as a Mustang. I have previously taught 4th through 6th grade in all content areas. Teaching middle schoolers is where I am most excited to be, because my desire to be a teacher grew from working with 7th and 8th graders in youth ministries.
I am an Arizona native. I grew up on the east side of the valley in Chandler. Teaching brought me to the west valley in 2005, after graduating from Grand Canyon University. Go Lopes!!
When I am not in the classroom I enjoy painting, reading, video games, puzzles, and binge watching TV with my husband. I constantly have music on the brain and enjoy musicals. I do not have any pets. I am a cat person, but due to my husband being severely allergic, we can not have any. Truth be told, I am somewhat allergic to them too, but even more so with long hair dogs. Thus, we are not pet parents.
