Education is my passion. I have taught in the elementary classroom for 28 years in 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th grades, BYU Partnership Pre-teaching Coach and site 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 30, great-grandma of 9, host mom for 8 international students, foster mom for 11 more.  I love spending time with my family, walking on the beach, music, live theater, walking in the rain, building things with power tools, and helping kids succeed.
