I proudly represent the Sunnyside Unified School District in Tucson, AZ. I grew up in the community I now teach in, and everyday strive to be an advocate for my students to follow their dreams in education and other passions. I began my journey after high school at the University of Arizona. There I received my Bachelors in Journalism with a minor in Spanish, so I could explore my passion in writing and telling stories. After working as a reporter, I returned to school to pursue a teaching certification. I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others, and developing the youth in our society who will one day grow up to be our future. I received my certification through Pima Community College through the internship pathway where I immediately began teaching in classroom, while attending school. While there I was able to maintain a 4.0 GPA, and welcomed my daughter into the world. After five years in the classroom, I knew that I wanted to continue my education to eventually work in administration. My goal is to help teacher flourish in their career, and be an advocate for teachers. I hope to move into a position where I can help develop curriculum for students and give students access to technology to better prepare them for the classroom of tomorrow.
