Teacher's Corner

 

           I graduated in the fall of 2003 from NAU with my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education. Last fall I am proud to say that I started my Masters Degree in Educational Leadership through NAU’s Distance Learning. I am so excited to be going back to school pursuing what I love to do! I hope to finish my degree this summer.

            I grew up in a family full of educators: my Grandma Alice, both my parents, and now me!  It seemed only natural that I would become a teacher since my love for school has been ongoing since my first day of preschool! With my mom being a second grade teacher I remember rearranging her classroom, putting up bulletin boards, and cutting out endless strips of lamination all because I shared the same passion: teaching! My father, on the other hand, showed me all of the endless opportunities in education through his experience of becoming a principal, superintendent, and teaching at a number of universities. My passion for teaching has definitely come from my family and that I am thankful for!

           In February 2007, I married a wonderful person. Garrick is a huge supporter of my dedication to school (he has to be, he designed this website with me!) Not only did I recently become a wife, but a mom as well! Cayden is a bundle of joy at five! On July 23rd, our little Kaylee was born. My little family is definitely not complete without my two loveable dogs: Daisy and Athena.

           Starting my fifth year at Ishikawa on the fifth grade team has been a dream! I feel so fortunate to have such a dedicated principal, unbelievable staff, and such supportive parents. I look forward to a wonderful year ahead!
