I grew up in Los Angeles and have been an Arizona resident since 2006, and an Arizona educator since 2008. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education (History). This is my 1st year at Vista Grande High School, after having spent 13 years at an alternative charter school in Mesa. I am married with three kids (a 14-year-old 8th grader and twin 6-year-old 1st graders). My family and I currently live in Mesa.
