PAL Director

As the Associate Director of Play and Learn (PAL) Preschool, this is my tenth year as an administrator in the Marana Unified School District. I previously served as the Dean of Students and Athletic Director at Marana High School and Associate Principal at Marana Middle School. Prior to that, I taught in the Phoenix Union High School District and the Flowing Wells School District.

I received my Bachelor's degree from Grand Canyon University and my Master's from Northern Arizona University. I have been married for twenty-one years and we have three children.

I am honored to be a part of the Marana community. It is a community I truly love and I enjoy being able to serve and support the teachers, staff, and students. I am incredibly excited to be a part of PAL! We have an amazing team dedicated to serving our youngest learners. I believe in the vital importance of the work we do everyday to help set our students up for success in their K-12 educational journey.
