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. 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!

I am so grateful to be at Oakwood! When I’m not teaching, I love spending time with my family, traveling with my husband, or taking a pilates class. I love being an Owl and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!
