I am a California transplant. Long time married, with a 25 year old step-son. I enjoy the outdoors, photography, music/concerts, various forms of exercise, and travel. I love and miss the ocean, but also love the affordability of the 505!
I have taught for 17 years. Most of this time has been in APS at the elementary level, with a few years at a state charter. I've always worked with mild disabilities, but I have been in various settings (self-contained, full inclusion, push-in, and pull-out).
This year I am teaching 4th and 5th grade gifted classes at Manzano Mesa Elementary. I am working toward a gifted endorsement and will finish in Spring. I have really enjoyed this change in my teaching career and look forward to many years of learning about, and participating in, the world of gifted.
