A Little Information About Myself:
I graduated from ASU in May of 2006 with my Bachelor's Degree in Secondary Education focusing on English. This will be my fourth year as a teacher at North Canyon High School. I have two children, a daughter who is 19 and attends The University of Arizona, and a son who is 17 and attends Paradise Valley High School. My husband is also a teacher and works in the Phoenix Union High School District. Before I returned to school to become a teacher, I was a legal secretary for 17 years. For hobbies, I enjoy reading, crocheting, traveling with friends, and spending time with my family.
Classroom Philosophy:
I believe that as a high school teacher, it is my job to not only teach my students English, but also to help them become active participants in their own education and life goals. High school is merely a stepping stone to life and the positive organizational and self-advocating habits they learn in their high school careers will help them become successful, productive citizens in the future.
