She also obtained her M.Ed. from Grand Canyon University with an emphasis in Secondary Education. She spent her first year teaching English at a junior high school in Phoenix, but quickly moved to the college level and taught as an English professor for 8 years at Arizona Christian University. While at the University, she spent five years as the Director of Residence Life and four years as the Head Volleyball Coach to their NAIA Volleyball team.

In the fall of 2013, she started working in administration as the Dean of Students, Curriculum Coach, and Teacher. In 2016, she took the position of Assistant Principal, and, finally, Mrs. Mace became MHP’s School Leader in 2018.
Mrs. Mace is passionate about seeing kids in the Casa Grande area succeed in and out of the classroom and pursue their College Journeys. Her encouragement to all students is to not only challenge themselves to be the best students they can be for the collegiate level but also as citizens in their communities. She lives in Casa Grande and spends most of her free time with her husband and four kids.
