I love being a teacher because every day I wake up excited to go to work, knowing that at some point in my day, a child is going to teach me a new lesson. My students make me see the world through their eyes.
I have taught elementary education in the Prescott area since 1993, teaching grades 1st through 5th. I am a second generation Arizona native and attended junior high and high school in the beautiful city of Prescott. After graduation from Prescott High, I earned my BS in Elementary Education from NAU. Currently, I am a K8 Arizona certified teacher with a Structured English Immersion Endorsement. In 2004, I was honored to receive the Yavapai County K3 Teacher of the Year award. I met my husband, Brian, while attending PHS. Both our children, Jake and Emma, have been students of Skyview School since kindergarten! |

In 2011, Anna completed and received her Masters’ degree in Elementary Education from Grand Canyon University. Anna is passionate about teaching, and believes that ‘Art is what helps children become more like themselves, and less like everybody else!’ Anna lives with her husband and her two children in Prescott Valley. During her ‘spare-time’ Anna can be found reading, knitting, bike riding, and walking her dog. |
