How long have you been in education?

Why did you choose education?

I had great teachers growing up and was involved in a lot of clubs and activities when I was in school. I originally majored in architecture, but switched to education when I realized how much happier I would be recreating the positive experience I had during high school for others. 

What drew you to Shadow Ridge High School?

I loved that students at Shadow Ridge like to participate in school events!

I have two major goals. One, is to support club advisors so they can get more students involved, and the second is to support our CTE teachers so we can increase the number of students who earn certification in their programs.

My favorite part of Shadow Ridge is that I get to collaborate with such amazing people. Shadow Ridge has the best teachers and staff!
