About The Teacher

I was born in Southern Califonia and have lived in Northern California, 
Missouri, Kansas, and Arizona.  I have two kids, a 13 year old and an 11 
year old.  I am 33 years old.  

The 08-09 school year will be my sixth year teaching, my sixth year in the 
Tolleson Union High School District, and my fourth year at CCHS.  My first 
year I was at Tolleson Union H.S. and then I went to La Joya Community H.S. 
for a year.  I graduated from California State University, Chico in 2001 
with a B.A. in History.  I am working on my Master's Degree in Educational 
Leadership.  I have a valid Arizona teaching credential.  I am 
also the head varsity girl's golf coach.
