Adventure is my middle name. Although I have never sought it out, it somehow finds me, especially in teaching!! These past 16 years of my teaching career have been an exciting voyage in education, stretched between two different states, three school districts, and six grade levels (Kindergarten – 5th grade). After teaching in Washington State for six years, I moved to Arizona and have taught at a Title 1 school in the West Valley for ten years.

Throughout my career, I have observed children struggling with the effects of poverty, and it is a dream of mine to give parents and children the tools to ease the hardship of poverty. I am passionate about providing children the tools to be successful: learn to create and achieve goals, become advocates for their equal rights as learners, and transform into lifelong believers of the power of education!!

I’ve also continued my love of learning as I have achieved my National Board Teaching Certification in Literacy: Reading and Language Arts. Currently I am supporting the pre-candidates for National Board Teaching Certification in my school district.  I especially love to read about new literacy trends and theories during the summer and try them out in my teaching the following year. One thing I’ve learned about myself as a teacher throughout the years- I’m not afraid to break the mold and be innovative. So I guess…sometimes I do seek adventure.
