My goal as principal of Arizona Connections Academy is to create a virtual educational environment in which the school can work effectively with families to provide an optimal educational experience for every student.
I have been involved in 21st Century instruction since 2004. Before becoming principal of Arizona Connections Academy, I served as a principal at a model school for the Arizona Department of Education for use of technology in superior instruction. Before becoming a principal, I was very involved in the International Baccalaureate program as well as the development of family reading and mathematics enrichment programs for students. I am a firm believer that every student deserves an opportunity to be taught how they learn best, to provide them with every chance to be successful in achieving their goals and dreams.
My favorite activities are enjoying the beauty of Arizona with my family, and working as part of a team with the exceptional faculty, staff and families of Arizona Connections Academy.
