About The Teacher

I believe that learning begins at birth and continues throughout one's life.  
Learning opportunities can happen anywhere, though it is in the classroom 
where children build on the foundations they need for success throughout 
life.  My education includes a BA in English from Arizona State University, 
my multiple and single subject credentials as well as my Masters of Arts in 
Teaching K-12 through the University of California, Irvine.       
  
Outside of Plaza Vista, I love reading, cooking, playing sports and spending 
time with my family.
