Summary

I have been teaching in Gilbert Public Schools for31 years. I have mostly taught third and fourth graders. I am passionate about creating interesting lessons and teaching them to my class. I especially enjoy helping struggling students understand more difficult concepts while at the same time engaging the gifted children to push themselves even father. My true goal in teaching has always been to constantly keep my students academically challenged.

I accepted Christ at a young age but over the last several years have grown in my knowledge and study of the Word. The Lord is leading me to want to share my faith with my students and educate them on the Bible and Biblical History. I have a real passion for the sciences and evidences that prove the Bible true.
