I am the 3rd-6th grade Gifted Specialist at Sonoma Ranch Elementary. I have been teaching gifted students in the district since 2004. Prior to that, I taught 2nd grade for 3 1/2 years in California. I got my teaching degree at Utah State University in Logan, Utah. Logan is where I grew up. I am the middle child of 8. I have no children of my own but have 5 nieces and 8 nephews.
When I moved to Arizona, I was offered a job in the district teaching Gifted students at Ashland Ranch Elementary. I received my gifted endorsement shortly after I was hired by Gilbert Public Schools. I taught at Ashland Ranch for 11 years and was then transferred to Sonoma Ranch Elementary 9 years ago. I love working with the Gifted students they keep me on my toes and I learn something new every day.
