Faculty K-6

I love helping each child progress in their academic, motor, social, and language skills.

Every year I get to see the light bulb turn on in my students eyes as I unlock the magic of learning to read.

My passion is being part of the emotional, social, and academic growth of the students I have the privilege of working with year after year.

 I also enjoy reading, watching movies, and traveling the world to experience cultures and going on adventures!

 I am passionate about teaching children and want them to love learning.

 I love the children so much that I had to be hands on with them all day.

I absolutely love teaching, especially here at Summit, where it feels like we are a family!

 My passion is teaching and helping kids learn they can be successful.

I strive to create a welcoming classroom environment where all cultures are valued and respected, helping students feel safe and included.

 I love learning so much that I can spend hours researching, reading, and listening about many random topics that interest me.

I love to be at Summit Academy. I like to workout, hike, and spend time with my family.     

I believe in meeting students where they are at whether they are high or low they all deserve to be challenged.

The Summit family is amazing at supporting one another and encouraging everyone to continue learning and growing.

I like to teach and motivate my students to always improve themselves.

I believe every child deserves to feel valued, supported, and inspired to become a lifelong learner. I hold a Master's degree in Elementary Education from Western Governors University and have an undergraduate background in History and English from Washington State University.

 I enjoy helping teachers and working with children.

I love to learn so anytime an opportunity comes up to take classes I’m always in.  My goal is to pass this love of knowledge on to my students.

Just like the bison, I think it is important to never give up and to protect those around me.

In my classroom, I emphasize support, growth, confidence, creativity, and fun. I deeply value the relationships built with students, parents, and colleagues, and I am always eager to learn from those around me.

I love watching kids grow and learn and being able to assist them in that process.

I love helping my students learn and seeing how proud they are of themselves when mastering a new concept.

I have been teaching at Summit since 2019 and I love it!

Teaching in the DLI Spanish program allows me to share the joy of language, culture, and discovery.

I love to create art, learn more about modern day artists and of course masters from the past.  Teaching children of different ages makes my day very enjoyable.  

 I love working with the kiddos and have so much fun teaching games and activities that get the kids moving!

I believe every child has the potential to grow and learn, regardless of ability or circumstance. I love to help support students to reach their full potential. 

My passion within special education is teaching reading.

 I love working with all the students and watching them grow and learn.
