My educational background is that of a Bachelors Degree and Masters Degree from Northern Arizona University and I also hold a Reading Specialist Endorsement and a community college teaching certificate. In December of 2017, I officially achieved my status as a National Board Certified Teacher. I am thrilled to be an adjunct professor for Rio Salado College teaching ENG 101/102 and ENH 110 for dual enrollment on Mountain Ridge's campus. I have previously taught ELA (English Language Arts) 7-8, ELA 5-6, Reading, Advanced Study Skills, ENH 259 (American Indian Literature) and ENH 241/ENH 242 (American Literature Before and After 1860). This is my 29th year teaching, with 28 years at Mountain Ridge High School. 

I am honored to have been named a Deer Valley Unified School District Teacher of the Year, PRIDE District winner, Outstanding Adjunct Faculty Award winner for Rio Salado College, Outstanding Adjunct Faculty Award Winner for the Maricopa County Community College District, an inductee to the NCA Circle of Excellence for the State of Arizona, and in 2016 was named a Deer Valley Unified School District Classroom of Excellence Teacher. 

Outside of the classroom, I love to travel, and I have been lucky enough to have spent time wandering through Europe, New Zealand, and Australia, and also have spent quality time dipping my toes in crystal-blue waters throughout the Caribbean. I like to think I am an artist and I love painting and photography.  I am also a fervent Ohio State Buckeyes fan - (GO BUCKS!)

Important Dual Enrollment Forms

A few tips and hints:

• Be sure that you (as the student) always have access to your MEID (combination of letters and numbers), your Maricopa Student ID number, and your password for to access your account at maricopa.edu/students! You will need this info for more than registration. There are online Rio resources that you may use in class.
• As you fill out information for college admission and/or registration, pay close attention to ensure that you are properly identifying your county as that affects your tuition cost. 
• Don't wait until the last minute. The registration process has several steps and some of the forms can take several days to complete. If you get stuck or are unsure, just ask your instructor for help!
