Teaching style
I believe that the best teaching is always the simplest form of teaching. As a result, I use a simplistic and authentic approach. I encourage students to use every minute wisely and believe in fostering each student’s natural curiosity. “The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” Emerson
I believe educators deserve the best. We do a difficult job and deserve solid support and good resources.
Awards & shining teacher moments
In 2016, I became a coordinating committee member of the Brigham Young University Civic Education Initiative. I have been awarded the Provo Way Award and Daily Herald Educator of the Week. I received the Golden Apple Award in 2015, and the Crystal Apple Award in 2013, and acted as a CITES Associates member of the BYU-Public School Partnership in 2014 and 2019. I am a professional speaker with a focus on Engaged Reading.
My own education history
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. I also have my Gifted and Talented, and ESL Endorsements. I am trained in DIBELS Next Assessments and in LETRS.
Additional biographical information
I have three daughters whom I adore. My eldest little woman is attending University. My middle little woman is in 10th grade, and my baby is in 5th grade. When not working, I spend countless hours carpooling my daughters to ballet. I am also an avid reader of all genres and enjoy date nights with my husband.
