Education is an important part of my life. I obtained my BS in Education at Northern Arizona University way back in 1998. I then began my teaching career at a private school in Las Vegas, NV, teaching elementary  school. In 2004, I obtained my MS in Education from Walden University. At about this time, I also moved up and began teaching middle and high school social studies and science.

In 2009, I moved to California and I taught middle school math at Linfield Christian School. I then took the next year off from full time teaching while I finished my dissertation for my PhD in Education, and soon after began teaching for MVUSD. I am excited to be Leading the Way at DMMS for my 5th year!
