I am an Arizona native. I grew up in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area, but I have lived in Surprise since 2004. I love bowling, camping, football, and animals (both land & sea). My favorite color is blue and my favorite candy is Milk Duds! I have been married to my husband for 14 years and we have an adorable son named Joshua who will be in 2nd grade here at PHES as well. I also have the best dog in the world, he is a Chocolate Lab and his name is “Chip” (short for Chocolate chip). Although this is my first year here at Paradise Honors Elememtary, I am starting my 13th year of teaching. I can’t wait to learn so many interesting things about you too this year.
