I am a 4th year teacher at Desert Ridge High School. I attended University of California at Santa Barbara and the University of Arizona. I grew up in Gilbert, AZ and graduated Highland High School in 2003. I am very passionate about this community, especially our students. I eat way too many pickles, I love sports, and I love my job. I would love to see you in class!
Psychology is the study of human behavior in all aspects. The purpose of AP Psychology is to introduce students to the systematic and scientific study of the behavior and mental processes of human beings and other animals. Students are exposed to the psychological facts, principles, and phenomena associated with each of the major subfields within psychology. A variety of activities, demonstrations, and projects will be provided to meet this goal of instructing scientific and empirical approaches.
