I grew up in Southern Utah graduating from Dixie State with my Bachelor's Degree and Southern Utah University with my Master's Degree. This is my eighteenth year in education. I've been a 3rd and 5th-grade teacher, Reading Interventionist, Learning Coach, and Title I Coordinator. I've been married to my husband for eighteen years and we have 4 amazing children; one boy and three girls. We love to travel as much as possible and we have a goal to see every national park in the US. I am passionate about saving money, watching old movies, and reading nonfiction.
