This is my 9th year of teaching and my 7th year at Tuba City High School. I attended Northern Arizona University where I majored in Business Marketing. I returned to school in order to receive my teaching certificate and graduated from Northern Arizona University in 1993 with a Bachelor of Science in Vocational Education/Business Education. I received my Masters a few years later in Secondary Education.
