I am the Speech / Language Pathologist at Hayden Peak Elem. I have been here since the second year the school opened, as well as worked in various other schools throughout Jordan School District. This is my 34th year of working full time as an SLP. The majority of settings have been in the public schools in Utah as well as Oregon. I have also worked with adults in rehab settings (PRN) as well as one year full time with adults for the State of Utah. My husband and I have two married children and six grandchildren, ranging in age from eleven to twenty. I enjoy walking, bike riding and swimming as well as traveling. Art museums are a favorite. We also enjoy watching our daughter run world marathons and seeing the grandkids in their various sports and school activities. Hayden Peak has been my favorite work setting. The faculty and students are the best!
I am the Resource teacher that works with students who are in Kindergarten through Fourth Grade. This is the fourth year that I have taught at Hayden Peak Elementary School and the 31st year that I have taught Special Education classes. What thrills me to no end is when I see my students who struggle with reading and/or math start to understand and make progress!
This is my 4th year of teaching at Hayden Peak. I have taught a total of 23 years. I’ve loved all of my teaching positions but of course Hayden Peak is my all time favorite! I enjoy spending time with my family. We mostly have dinner together but when possible we like to get away and go boating, motorcycle riding or go to new places and do all the things that tourist do.
This is my first year at Hayden Peak as the school psychology intern and it’s been an amazing experience so far! I moved here from the Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania. I also lived in South Korea for a year and a half teaching English as a second language. Some of my hobbies include hiking, traveling, and drawing. One of my goals is to explore all the national parks in Utah!
