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.

I love working with children and seeing their progress throughout the year.

I’m from Spain, and this is my first year working here in the United States, in Utah and at Summit Academy. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the wonderful team I work with every day. I hold two bachelor's degrees and have been working as an early childhood education teacher for 22 years. 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 love being a part of their lives, even if only for one 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 am a student at Western Governors University, working on my bachelors degree in elementary education.

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 am committed to continuous learning so that I can develop strategies and ideas to support every student’s growth.

Most importantly, my philosophy centers on encouraging all my students to take pride in being bilingual or multilingual, celebrating their language as a strength and an asset that enriches both their education and their identity.

 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.     

It has been my passion to work with children and help motivate them to learn and grow for as long as I can remember!

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

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 enjoy helping teachers and working with children.

I love math and love teaching it to my students.

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.

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

I love guiding young minds and learning alongside them each day. Teaching in the DLI Spanish program allows me to share the joy of language, culture, and discovery. I’m passionate about science, languages, and inspiring curiosity in my students.

"I love the fact that I can help our kids to grow and learn by knowledge, values and amazing life experiences. Assist them, be there for them in a way I can leave a mark in their lives that guarantee success! "

I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to help support our amazing 5th and 6th grade teachers this year in an official capacity and truly enjoy spending time with the students.

One of my favorite parts of working for Summit for so many years is getting multiple students from the same families.

I love learning! I enjoy reading about history and different cultures around the world. My favorite thing to do is share new ideas and knowledge with my students. I enjoy watching them learn and ask questions about the world around them. I think this is why I LOVE teaching so much, working with amazing students!

She loves anything outdoors and loves to play at recess with the kids.

I love learning about anything and everything! My main goal is to encourage learning in a fun and approachable way, while maybe learning a thing or two myself. I'm very excited to be with Summit Academy while I work on my teaching degree!

What is more fun than art?!  Not much.  I have loved art in all its forms since I was a little girl.  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 am really enjoying my time here at Summit and look forward to many more years to come!

I have a passion for books and love to read.  Being a librarian is the closest thing I can get to getting paid to read, which has always been a goal.

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

I bring over 15 years of experience in special education. My teaching career has been shaped by a commitment to inclusive practices, individualized learning, and fostering student growth both academically and socially.

As a Special Education Coordinator, I am committed to working closely with teachers, families, and support staff to ensure that every student receives the resources and guidance they need to thrive.

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.
