'I am an Arizona native, but I love to travel and experience different places. I even lived in Sweden for six months as part of a study-abroad program! I enjoy staying healthy by going to the gym and being active outdoors. Some outdoor activities I like are hiking, running, rock climbing, and bike riding. Art is another passion of mine, and I encourage creativity and the creative process.'
"I love teaching at Arizona Connections Academy because of the flexible schedule. The benefit of teaching at an online school is that I can provide instructional materials on my message board that are available to my students 24/7."
