Teachers

I absolutely love teaching at Oakwood. In my free time, I love spending time outdoors with my family. I love to read, do jigsaw puzzles, and craft. Thank you for letting me teach your children in this wonderful community.

This is my 2nd year at Oakwood! I was born and raised in Salt Lake and graduated from the University of Utah. Go Utes! I absolutely love teaching First Grade and when I am not doing that, you can find me sewing quilts, biking, skiing or baking yummy treats. I have now been married for one year and love spending time with my husband and our German Shepherd, Theo. I love how inclusive the community at Oakwood is and am looking forward to many more great years here!

Mrs. Linton has been a teacher in Granite School District for 14 years. She received her bachelors degree in Elementary Education from Utah State University and then completed her masters degree in Education Leadership from Western Governors University. Her goal is to become a principal. She absolutely adores her students and loves being a 5th grade teacher. Kindness is important to Mrs. Linton, and she incorporates that theme throughout the year in her ELA lessons. She has a wonderful husband, two beautiful daughters, and a fluffy white dog. When Mrs. Linton isn't in the classroom, she loves to travel, bake, organize her home, watch t.v., spend time with friends and family and read.

Besides loving my Oakwood community and 4th grade students dearly, I have a family that includes my husband, son, daughter, son-in-law, and chocolate lab puppy (Diggy). We love to travel together and ski, hike, swim, mountain bike, and just generally love being outside. There are times you can find ALL of us (except Diggy) sharing two lanes at Fairmont Recreation Center doing a swim practice together.

When I am not teaching, I enjoy hiking, reading, kayaking, the ocean, baking and fishing! I love spending time with my family. I have a STEM Endorsement and A Gifted & Talented Endorsement.
