I moved to Arizona where I started teaching kindergarten in the Deer Valley Unified District in North Phoenix. While teaching at Bellair Elementary School, I earned a Master's Degree in Elementary Education and an Administrative Certification from Northern Arizona University.

I earned a second Master's Degree in Educational Technology from Arizona State University.

I am now entering my twenty-ninth year of teaching. I currently teach ELA and Math to identified gifted students at Bellair Elementary in the Deer Valley School District in Arizona, USA.
