I earned my Bachelors degree in Health Science from the University of Arizona and am completing my Masters degree in Secondary Education. I was born and raised in Tucson but lived in Houston, Texas for many years before moving back to Tucson with my family. I am thankful not to have to worry about hurricanes anymore! My family and I are glad to be living in Tucson where we can enjoy the beauty of the Sonoran desert and all it has to offer. I look forward to being your teacher this year and exploring the amazing world of science with you.
