I have spent my entire life in the desert southwest states and I am proud to call Phoenix home. I am a first-generation college student. I worked hard in my studies and developed interests in education and my disposition for teaching.  I am intrigued by health and wellness across the lifespan and public health and safety. Here at ASU, I found the perfect blend of teaching, course design, teamwork, and supportive colleagues. I enjoy what I do and work with remarkable people.
