As a native Tucsonan raised in Three Points and as a resident of the Marana Unified School District, I have a deep love of the Old Pueblo and the Marana community. I earned my undergrad in education at the University of Arizona and my graduate degree in educational leadership from Northern Arizona University. I believe in public education and the dedicated educators that pour into our students each day; furthermore, I believe that education is the cornerstone of a strong community focused on equipping the next generation for a brighter future. I am proud that all three of my children attend schools in MUSD. 

As I begin my first year as a member of the Picture Rocks Elementary team, I am excited to build a strong sense of community, academic excellence, and personal relationships with our students and families to continue to grow Picture Rocks into a wonderful place of learning. I have always believed that the best leaders are those that are willing to remain humble, serve others, and lead by example. It is my sincere desire to support Mrs. O’Hara-Perkins, our staff, our students, and our families in our common goal of providing a safe, positive, and engaging school environment. 

While there are continued challenges that our community faces, I look forward to a new school year and a season of growing stronger together as we find fresh ways of improving while maintaining all that has made Picture Rocks reputable and cherished within our community. 

It is my absolute pleasure to join the Hawk family. 

With Humble Commitment,
