Welcome to Mrs. Anderson's Website!
My name is Christen Anderson and I am so excited to get to know you this year. Here is a little bit about my family and things that I like so that you can get to know me.
I am a native of Arizona. I graduated from Cactus Shadows High School in Cave Creek in 1995. I earned my undergraduate degree from Indiana University and spent 14 years in corporate human resources. I decided to make a career change to pursue my passion for teaching. I earned my Master’s in Elementary Education through ASU’s iTeach program in 2014.
I have been married to my wonderful husband, Andy, since 2007. I married both him and his two boys, Brock and Cade. They are now 14 and 11. In 2010, Andy and I welcomed another boy into the world. His name is Logan and he is almost 4!
