I have been teaching for 15 years! All of those years have been with K-8 students who need extra social emotional learning needs (SEL). I love teaching here at Oakwood in the lower grade SEL unit. Little kids are my favorite to teach. We have so much fun reading, doing math, art, working on speech, occupational therapy, and learning to live and play with friends.

I worked as a elementary and preschool teacher for 15 years and then went back to school to become a nurse. I spent 10 years working at Primary Children's Hospital before making the change to become a Granite School District Nurse. I'm so happy to be working in the schools again and to be at Oakwood Elementary.

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!
