I've been teaching for 24 years in grades 1-4 in the Salt Lake City School District. My husband Johnny and I have been married for 28 years and we have a daughter and a son. We love to be outdoors as much as possible and enjoy lots of long walks all over Utah. I also love gardening, skiing and painting. One of my favorite things to do is look at clouds! I read all kinds of books and enjoy cooking delicious, healthful food for my family. Most of all, I love being with friends and my family. Teaching is a huge part of my life and every year I hope to inspire a love of learning in all students about our amazing world!
