Hello! This website is designed for parents and students alike to connect to my classroom from anywhere. Parents, I hope it helps keep you informed and engaged in what your child is doing in history this year. Students, use this website to reinforce what you have learned in class or to help you get caught up when you cannot be here. It is my goal to make all homework and much of your classwork available online, to access if you are absent or missing an assignment. I will also try to make as many video clips and powerpoint presentation available on this website as well. Contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I am on campus teaching from 10:30-1:30, so I will return all phone calls and emails before or after that timne frame. Thanks for visiting!

About me
Me and my son, Louden.
I was born in Phoenix and attended Deer Valley High School and Arizona State University. After graduating summa cum laude with a degree in Education and an emphasis in American history and Government, I returned to Deer Valley High and taught American History, US Government, World History, Sociology and Advanced Placement US History for 6 years. I married my husband Matt in 2002 and we started a family in 2003. After my husband started his own company, I decided to be a stay at home mom and help with his business endeavors. Two kiddos and 7 years later, I returned to teaching. I feel blessed to be able to have a wonderful family, a job that I love, and to work at this amazing school; Desert Heights Preparatory Academy!
