I grew up in Southern California. I love the beach and the ocean. 

My husband and I have three daughters and a son. We also have three sons-in-law and 9 grandchildren. 

We have lived on the West Coast, East Coast, Midwest, and in the Rocky Mountains. I have moved 14 times. 

My hobbies include reading, quilting, weaving, drawing, traveling, and others. I have visited all of the continents besides Antarctica. 

This is my 7th year teaching at UCAS. 

My educational journey is long and varied. I earned an Associate of Science in Nursing at Pasadena City College, in Pasadena, California. 

I earned a Bachelor of Science in English Education at UVU. I then earned an endorsement in English Language Learning from Southern Utah University and an endorsement in Gifted and Talented from BYU. 

Finally, I earned a Master in Science from Western Governors University in Curriculum and Instruction. 

I teach English, and serve as the ELL coordinator as well as the 504 coordinator.
