I grew up in Las Vegas, NV, but have lived in Utah since 2008. I love living in Utah and enjoy the seasons here. My husband Ben and I have three boys - Tristan, Cory and Brody. We like spending our time outside. Some of our favorite things to do are going to the lake, mountain biking, and visiting the beach. We also have a German Shepherd name Kane. I have been teaching for 13 years and I've taught Kindergarten, First Grade, Third Grade and Sixth Grade. For the last few years I've had the opportunity to be the Literacy Interventionist here at UCA and it is my favorite! I love working with students to help them learn to love reading.
