My Story:

I have had the opportunity to be a part of many children's lives for 26 years now!   I spent my first 2 years teaching 3rd graders and the other 24 years working with 2nd grade students!  I have taught at other schools, but I have been at Palmcroft Elementary for the past 21 years!  I LOVE being a Palmcroft Panther!  I received my bachelor's degree from Northern Arizona University in 1999, with an ESL endorsement.  I also hold my Early Childhood Endorsement.  I hold the status of a highly qualified teacher.  I have also received recognition in the 2010-2011 year as Palmcroft's K-3 Teacher of the Year and again in 2012-2013 and 2018-2019 school years!  In 2016, I was recognized as Yuma School District One's High Five Employee of the Month for September!
