I am an educator with over 20 years of experience in the classroom. I have served as a teacher, department head, master teacher, and PLC leader during my career. My passion for language and storytelling has always been a driving force in my life, and my experience in the classroom gives me a unique perspective on how to communicate ideas effectively while still remembering what it is like in the classroom. I hold a Master's in English from Arizona State University, along with a Master's in Curriculum Design from Indiana Wesleyan University, along with my administrator’s license.
