I am very excited and honored to be here at Codington. I keep pinching
myself to make sure that it is real. I have had an outstanding experience so
far and I am sure that it will continue all year.
Most of you know that I am coming from Phoenix, Arizona (native). This is
my 8th year of teaching (5th in 5th grade). I have a Master's degree and a
little extra. I am certified for Elementary Education, Middle School Math
and Language Arts, and possibly in the near future, English As a Second
Language and Principal.
Outside of education, I enjoy my family, sports and traveling (when
affordable). I am happily married with two wonderful children; who are also
very excited to be at Codington. I enjoy almost every sport with football
being my passion. We love to go camping (rv), so if you know of any great
spots, please let me know.
Our mission is to be life-long learners; moreover, to enjoy the art of
learning. To give our best effort and realize that we learn from our
mistakes. Finally, to know that the choices we make not only effect us now,
but our future as well.
