Growing up in Chicago, IL, I moved to Phoenix in 2003 to attend Arizona State University for my Bachelors and Masters Degree.  Originating in a large urban city, I am familiar with the struggles, cultures, and diversity found within such a dense geographic area.  I am devoted to seeing every student succeed not only in my class, but within high school as a whole. 

 

I believe in holistic relationships in my teaching, which includes understanding my students' academic, social, and emotional needs and/or goals.  In addition, I make every effort to instill the wisdom I have acquired through my own academic journey in hopes of motivating and guiding students towards a positive, rewarding, and goal oriented life.
