My top goal for each of my students, is to inspire them to enjoy
every minute of their education. When I’m not at school, I like
to spend time knitting, gaming, reading, or playing disc golf
with my husband, Jake.

I am an Arizona native and I love to hike and work out. I have four
amazing adult children. I am passionate about education—I have earned
degrees in Elementary Education and Broadcast Journalism and I have a
Master’s Degree in Special Education from NAU.

this time, I’ll be in our room 94 the entire

This time is set aside to meet one another,
drop off supplies, check out your new

you’d like to save some time and fill out
the paperwork at home, it can be found
online at www.eduprizeschools.net.

you’re in line outside at the picnic tables
