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.
This is my first year teaching at Hayden Peak Elementary. However, I’m very familiar with this school as all of my children have attended school here. I am married and have 3 children, a dog, and a cat. I live in West Jordan and love it here. I also love music- singing, playing the piano, and listening to the radio. I love to watch sports, especially football and basketball. Too bad I’m not very athletic! I’m trying to be a good cook (I wish I had more time to do it) and I love to relax by going to the movies. I love being in the classroom and I’m so excited to be teaching here at Hayden Peak!
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.
