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. Then, I went on to teach math at Glendale Community College. Next, I went back to teaching high school math at Northwest Christian School. Finally. I landed at Sandra Day O'Connor.

I married to my high school sweetheart. We have 5 kids who range in age from 14-26 years old. We have 4 sons who have graduated from OC.

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. I am ready to embark on my 21st year of teaching, and 4th year in Geometry. 

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 10 years ago.

Outside of school, I am a wife & mom of three girls. My oldest daughter is pursuing her degree in chemistry and biology and is working toward becoming a research scientist. My second daughter is pursuing her degree in Spanish and Biomedical Sciences and is working toward becoming a doctor. Finally, my youngest daughter is attending Arizona Agribusiness Equine Center (High School) and trains service dogs. I love to share my house with a small zoo of animals including my two boxer pups, a bearded dragon, geckos, fish, and chickens.  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.

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!!

Mr. Williams has been teaching mathematics for many years and brings a wealth of experience and passion to the classroom. He currently teaches AP Calculus AB and BC, where he challenges students to reach their highest potential through deep understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving.

Outside of the classroom, Mr. Williams is also the coach of the boys' golf team and the school's E-sports team, combining his love of competition and mentorship in both traditional and digital arenas.

What excites him most about teaching is the opportunity to help students not only learn math but build their confidence, develop independence, and become strong thinkers who can tackle problems both in and out of the classroom. He believes that with the right support and mindset, every student can grow and succeed.
