I couldn’t be more excited to join the William Penn waddle (I just learned that's what you call a group of penguins)! I love to learn; that's why I decided to become an educator. I started my career in education as a 6th grade teacher and more recently I have been the principal of Magna Elementary, and Jackling Elementary. My family and I are proud graduates of Granite Schools. My wife graduated from Cyprus High School, my daughter graduated from Kearns High School, and I graduated from Hunter High School. I feel so lucky to be part of a school with such a great legacy of learning and commitment. It is my honor and duty to maintain our school as a place where students feel physically and emotionally safe to learn. I hope to continue to work together to cultivate a community where students are empowered to explore their own learning through guided inquiry, hard work, and the arts.

I am thrilled to be joining William Penn Elementary this year! Moving from teaching to administration is such an exciting chapter in my life long learning journey. I have taught in elementary schools for the past 13 years. As an educator in general and special education I enjoyed getting to know my students and helping them learn who they are and what they can achieve. As a mom of four, I spend most free time loving on them and we can be seen at hiking, swimming and playing whatever sport is in season! I am dedicated to making our school a safe and happy for learning and growing!
