Hard work spotlights the character of people: some turn up their sleeves, some turn up their noses, and some don't turn up at all.” -Sam Ewing
I am a native Arizonan, born in Tucson in 1948, and grew up in the rural mining communities of Hayden and Winkleman, Arizona at the southern tip of Gila County.  Aside from my loving and supportive parents, some of my earliest memories have always included teachers and I can still name virtually every teacher I ever had while attending the primary, elementary, and high schools in Hayden-Winkleman.   It was these memories that led me to believe that teachers walked a special path and that they indeed made a difference, especially in my life.
Now, after thirty plus years in education, 18 of them as a counselor, 12 as an eighth grade and high school teacher, a Bachelor of Arts in Education from NAU, and a Masters of Education in Counseling from the University of Arizona, I do not look back with a single regret.  As a counselor I consider it a professional and personal mandate to attend to the educational, academic, career, personal and social needs of every student and to encourage the development of every student and enhance his or her high school experience.
My goals are to help students and teachers:
v
     interpret the results of various achievement tests,
v
     counsel students who are referred for tardiness and absences,
v
     counsel students as to appropriate behavioral standards,
v
     review and analyze grade-point averages in relationship to   achievement and college selection and admission,
v
     interpret student records,
v
     identifying and resolving student issues, needs  and problems,
v
     help teachers resolve problems with student behaviors and arranging parent conferences to address grades, learning issues and behavioral problems

In 2007 I completed my school guidance counseling credentials from Ottawa University and was hired as a guidance counselor the same year.

I am an Arizona native and grew up in Bisbee, Arizona.  After high school, I attended and graduated from Cochise Community College and then Northern Arizona University.  My areas of certification are business and English. In addition, I also hold a counseling certificate from the University of Phoenix. I began my teaching career at Ray High School in Kearny, Arizona and then Casa Grande Union High School.  I have found teaching and counseling so rewarding that upon retirement, I returned and continue to get motivated from interacting with our young adults. My favorite quote is from Cesar Chavez - "You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore."
