So you want to know all about Mrs. Dean you say? 

Well, here goes…

I was born in Tucson.  I have an older brother and a younger sister.  When I was about 4 my family moved to Phoenix.  At age 5, we moved to Pekin, Illinois to be closer to my grandmother.  When I was in the fourth grade, we moved back to Arizona, this time to Sedona.  I hiked, swam and rode horses all over red rock country.  I even belonged to the swim team in sixth grade!  In seventh grade, we moved back to Phoenix.  I lived there until 1994.

I graduated from Arizona State University with my Bachelor’s of Education in 1994.  After graduation, I moved to Tucson and took graduate courses at University of Arizona.  I began my teaching career in TUSD during the 1995-1996 school year.  In 2003 I earned my Master’s in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University.  I am currently working on my certification for the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. 

            My hobbies include reading, hiking/camping, and learning as much as I can about everything!   In my spare moments, I love to play with my two Boxer dogs Sadie and Mina, watch movies and relax with my husband.
