Education is my passion. I have taught in the elementary classroom in 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 6th grades. I have also served as a BYU Partnership Pre-teaching Coach and Educational Coach.  I have an MS in Educational Diversity and an MA in Educational Leadership. I am married to a retired Firefighter/Paramedic, mom of 13, grandma of 40, great grandma of 11, host mom for 11 international students, foster mom for 11 more.  I love spending time with my family, walking on the beach, listening to and teaching music, attending live theater, walking in the rain, building things with power tools, and helping kids succeed.
