Biography

Welcome parents, students and friends, to the 3rd year of the Mesa Academy for Advanced Studies!  I'm looking forward to working with this year's students and anticipate lots of learning with fun, engaging activities!

This is my 3rd year teaching with the Mesa Academy for Advanced Studies.  I teach all technology classes and grade levels (CTE5, CTE6, CB02, CB04 and CB05).  Prior to becoming a teacher, I accrued an extensive background of experience in the business world from which I now draw to enhance curricula and make it relevant and meaningful.  I wrote for two newspapers and a magazine in Michigan and worked in computer technologies for the marketing department at Harris Trust Bank in Arizona.  I was also employed for ten years as a network administrator of a charter school management company where I built computers, oversaw networks and maintained databases.   As a teacher, for the past 15 years I've taught K-12 technology coursework as well as writing and music classes.  My education includes a Bachelor's Degree in Information Technology, SEI and Cooperative Education endorsements, and CTE, A+ and IC3 certifications.
