I was born and raised in Arizona. I have my degree in elementary education from the University of Arizona and am currently working on my library endorsement through USU. My husband and I have 4 kids ages 10-18. We have moved around quite a bit due to his work but we have lived in Utah for 12 years with the last 6 being in the Hurricane area. Although I haven't taught as a full-time classroom teacher, I have been an aid for preschool and 5th grades, taught PE, and worked as a reading intervention aid through the Americorps program at Springdale Elementary for 3 years. I am excited to be joining the staff at Coral Canyon. I LOVE children's literature and am looking forward to helping students gain a lifelong love of reading. I look forward to meeting you all!
