First

After finishing my degree at SUU, I moved to Las Vegas to teach first grade.  When I moved back to Utah, I was lucky enough to find a job at LaVerkin Elementary. I have been here for 19 years.  I love this school! 

I live in New Harmony with my husband and 4 kids. I love living in an area that allows a big  garden, lots of flowers, my chickens, and room for my kids to play! I grew up in the (then) small town of Heber, Utah, but my loathing of snow sent me to Southern Utah after I graduated, and I haven’t wanted to leave!

If I could be anything other than a teacher, I’d love living on a big farm with ALL the animals!  As a part time job, my husband and I maintain properties, feed animals, and do yard care for large properties in New Harmony, so it’s a fun way to fulfill my dream of a farm (and to play with all the baby animals) without all the responsibility.😊

I love traveling, camping, reading, and anything to do with the beach!   When we aren’t camping, Florida is the vacation of choice for my family! We love spending time on the beach in Clearwater, visiting Universal Studios and SeaWorld, and we can’t pass up a trip to Discovery Cove! I love teaching STEM (my absolute teaching passion) and coaching Lego First League teams, in addition to teaching first grade. I have my ESL, reading, and early childhood endorsements, and am currently working on my Master’s Degree.
