Teachers

I was born and raised in Holladay, Utah, and I love this place with all my heart! Some of my favorite things are to travel, go boating, read and eat yummy food. I love teaching and finding new ways to engage my students. One thing that I absolutely couldn't live without is chocolate!

I come from a long line of educators and love teaching here at Oakwood Elementary! I first taught in Huntington Beach, California before having my three fabulous kids (Laney, Zoe, & Tate.) I have taught students in Nakuru, Kenya three separate times. I have a wonderful husband who loves to make homemade Sicilian pizza, and I have a small dog named Auggie Blue and a huge dog named Luna Mae Lovegood.  

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.

I am so happy to be teaching at Oakwood Elementary! I love to be at school with the students, it is one of my favorite places to be. My favorite subject to teach is math, especially multiplication and division. I also like to teach fractions. My interests outside of school are baking, playing golf with my family, and photography. I am a wife and a mom to three children. My children attended Oakwood, Bonneville, and Cottonwood. We are all proud to be Owls!
