About the store
Experience
I graduated from college in elementary education in 2012. I am in my seventh year of teaching. I love second graders!
Teaching style
One of my biggest beliefs as a teacher is that teachers need to do all they can to make their students want to be at school. I have a fun, warm, and inviting classroom. I try to plan activities and lessons that my students get excited about and want to participate in.
Awards & shining teacher moments
In my first year of teaching I was nominated by a parent for teacher of the year for our school district.
My own education history
I grew up in Washington state and attended all of my K-12 school years there. I moved to Idaho for college and graduated from BYU-Idaho in 2012 in elementary education. I lived and taught in Utah for 4 years. Now I moved home to Washington and am teaching here.
Additional biographical information
I just celebrated my one year wedding anniversary. My husband Steven and I live in a nice little neighborhood with a gorgeous view of the Olympic mountains! I love baking and decorating sugar cookies, reading books, doing yoga and hiking.
