I joined the TUSD family in 2019 and have been fortunate to have the opportunity to lead the Santa Rita learning community since my hire! Every day I am surrounded by student-centered team members who use their talents to elevate others. I have been committed to public education for the past 28 years and truly love what I do! When I'm not at school, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family—exploring all that Tucson has to offer! We love to hike, bike, golf, and play cornhole.
