Hello! My name is Corissa Bridges. I am so excited to be teaching mathematics at Sandra Day O'Connor this year! 

I was born in Phoenix, Arizona and lived in Scottsdale, Arizona until I graduated from college. I then moved to Glendale and have lived  there ever since. I attended Sandpiper Elementary,  Desert Shadows Middle School and Horizon High School!!

I went to Arizona State University where I earned my BS in Secondary Education with an Emphasis in Mathematics. I then attended Northern Arizona University remotely to earn my Masters in Mathematics Education.

After graduating, I taught math at Paradise Valley High School for 7 years.  Then, I went on to teach math at Glendale Community College for 13 years. I went back to teaching high school math at Northwest Christian School for 2 years. This will be my 4th year at Sandra Day O'Connor but my 26th year teaching mathematics!

I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 25 years. We have 5 kids who range in age from 12-24 years old. We have 3 sons who have graduated from OC and 1 more currently attending as a Senior.

I love to run! I have completed two full marathons and many half-marathons. My family and I also love to vacation at Disneyland. We are all Disney fanatics!

Hello, I am as native to the Valley as they come (born, raised, high school, college and graduate school). I earned my undergraduate degree in journalism and mass communication from ASU and worked for the state for many years. Some time in 2012, while also personal training part time, I decided to return to school to secure the necessary math credits in order to work toward earning my master's degree in secondary education to become a high school math teacher. A few years later, here I am, tremendously excited to start my second career teaching the exceptional students at Sandra Day O'Connor High School. When I'm not at school, I can usually be found out training my run, bike or swim and even occasionally brushing the dust off my guitar or drums.

My name is Amy Hoffman, and I'm excited about teaching high school geometry this year. I have spent the past 3 years teaching middle school math, and 15 more years teaching various grades and subject areas.

I grew up in the Chicagoland area as the youngest of three children. I attended Northern Illinois University for my undergraduate degree and my graduate degree at National Louis University. I started teaching for 10 years in Illinois before my husband and I moved our family to Arizona 8 years ago.

Outside of school, I am a wife & mom of three girls. My oldest daughter is pursuing her degree in exercise science and is working toward a physical therapy degree. My second daughter is attending Boulder Creek for her senior year of high school, and my youngest is just starting her high school career at AAEC. I love to share my house with a small zoo of animals including my two boxer pups, a bearded dragon, geckos, fish, and frogs.  As you can see, we enjoy our pets, but we also love to play games, go shopping, hiking, bike riding, and just get as much family time as possible.

I am happly married with two kids.  Davyd is 21, and graduated high school in 2018.  Abby is 20 and is in her 2nd year at Glendale Community College.  We also have four dogs of various breeds.  Our family loves to play games and ride roller coasters.  We are avid Disney fans, my favorite character being Minnie Mouse.  I collect a new Minnie coffee mug each time we visit Disneyland.  

I love teaching math and helping students reach their potential and moving past what they ever thought possible.  This is my 11th year teaching and I am excited to join the family at Pathways to continue what I love and am passionate about.

I also love to quilt with my sister and have made many over the years.

Hello! My name is Joelle Smyth, and I'm a math teacher and an Assistant Varsity Volleyball Coach at O’Connor! I will be teaching both Algebra 1-2 and Honors Algebra 1-2 this year.

Just to share a bit about myself, I have been married to my husband for 10 years, and we have two adorable sons, Lance, who is 4 & a half years old, and James, who is nearly 10 months old. We also have a 3-year-old German Shepherd named Ares.

I was born and raised in Arizona and have lived here all my life. I graduated from Saguaro High School in Scottsdale. I attended both Phoenix College and Arizona Christian University and graduated from ACU with a Bachelors of Science in Secondary Education with an emphasis in Mathematics. I have previously taught in the Paradise Valley school district at Explorer Middle School for 1 year and at Horizon High School for the most recent 10 years.  This will be my 12^th year teaching math overall and my first year teaching at O’Connor.

In high school, I was a triple-sport athlete, playing volleyball, basketball, and running track & field as well as throwing discus. I was fortunate enough to play collegiate volleyball for 4 years as well as one season of college track & field my senior year. I was an assistant Varsity Volleyball Coach at Horizon for 10 years with my final two years in the program resulting in State Championships in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. This will be my second season assistant coaching Varsity Volleyball here at O’Connor and we’re coming off of a State Championship win in the 2023 season last year!

I am excited to be here and learn about all of my students this year!

Hi!!!  My name is Tami Webb!

Let me share a little bit about myself; I have previously worked within the DVUSD as a Transition Specialist and a Special Education Student Service Coordinator since 2011.  I received her Master’s Degree in Curriculum and Instruction: Technology from Grand Canyon University.  My Bachelor’s Degree from Arizona State University is a Bachelor of Arts in Education with a dual certificate in Special Education and Elementary Education.   I have had the opportunity to be a mentor teacher within the ASU iTeach program and an Academic Associate for the Division of Educational Leadership and Innovation.  I love learning as much as I love teaching.  I have two children who have both graduated from Sandra Day O'Connor, Autumn and Alex.  

In my classroom I believe in Love and Logic practices.  Everyone can achieve success and should be challenged using the data from each individual's level of ability.  I work as a team with parents, students and educators to foster the growth of a strong foundation for future learning.  I am excited to begin this year working with you!!
