I have been married to Kendall for 17 years. We have 2 children, Justin (11) and Alyssa (9). I am a native Arizonan and have been attending First United Methodist for about 10 years. My bachelor’s degree is in Elementary Education from the University of Arizona with a Bilingual Endorsement. I have a Master’s degree in Elementary Education with endorsements in Early Childhood Education and Reading.

For 9 years I taught in the public schools, then for 8 years have worked with preschoolers. I am the Educational Director for our church preschool. I absolutely love interacting with preschoolers and their families!

Some of my hobbies are doing crafts, scrap booking, hiking, camping, reading, creating curriculum, and helping out in our kid’s classrooms. I feel so blessed to work with the people here at FUMCG and all of the families that come through the preschool. The preschool years are amazing!
