I have worked at Hayden Peak since 2013, but I have worked in the Jordan School District since 2008. Prior to working at the Jordan School District I began working for the Carbon County School District in 1988. My love of children is the reason I became a teacher. Some of my hobbies include camping, 4-wheeling, boating, driving my motorcycle, art and hanging out with my grandchildren and the dogs.
I have been teaching for twelve years, and have been at Hayden Peak for six of those years. I love teaching! I also enjoy baking, designing my dream home, and reading.
I grew up with four brothers and four sisters and my amazing parents in Montpelier ID. I graduated from Bear Lake High School. I decided to see the other side of the country and lived in New York City for just over a year. I Loved it! I came back and after living in Logan, UT for a bit and doing a bit of schooling there I moved to Salt Lake City. I went to school at the University of Utah and received a degree in Psychology, Sociology and a minor in Criminology. I am currently working on my masters in Education.
I am the mother of nine children, I have owned a Daycare/Preschool for 15 years, owned a dance studio, worked in a children’s center and taken on all sorts of life adventures. It seems like in the end I have always been surrounded by children and I love every minute of it. My husband and I love to travel and spend as much time together as we can. He puts up with me and all my craziness and I simply adore him for it. I love spending time outdoors, eating out, reading when I get the chance and spending time with my family. My youngest child is in seventh grade and then I have one more in high school. So crazy to think I am almost an empty nester. I am not looking forward to it, but excited about escaping with my husband on the spur of the moment.
There is no place I would rather be than at Hayden Peak. I am surrounded by amazing people that only want the best for all of these incredible children we get to see everyday.
