A little info about me:

MY FAVORITE VACATION SPOT IS THE WILD ANIMAL PARK IN ESCONDIDO. I especially love the elephants, primates, and big cats.

I am a native of Arizona and have lived here all of my life except for one year spent in Germany. I have a BA Degree in History and a BA Degree in Anthropology. My Master’s Degree is in Secondary Education with a specialization in History. All of my degrees are from ASU. I have passed the AEPA exams and am Highly Qualified to teach English, History, Government, and Economics in Arizona. Also, I love going places and participating in activities with my students.

I have the best students in the world!

My Favorite presidents are Truman and FDR and my favorite quote is from FDR's wife Eleanor:  “Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.” In my classroom, I never want any student to believe that they are not important or capable.

My Classroom Environment:

I expect us to all be respectful and considerate of one another, and I do enforce that expectation. We are all here to learn, since I know that I will learn as much from my students as I hope they will learn from me. Because our main goal is to absorb as much information as possible in our limited time together, I expect good behavior and honest effort from all of my students. I believe that this next year is going to be interesting, informative, dynamic, and lots of fun, and I am looking forward to getting to know each one of you.
