I am thrilled to be teaching my third year with the 5th grade team at Quest Academy! I grew up in Weber County and graduated from Fremont High. (Go Silver Wolves!)  Since that time I have lived in several other states. I earned my teaching degree from Wichita State University in Wichita KS.  Upon completion of my degree, my family moved to beautiful Springfield, Oregon, where I worked in the public school system for 6 years.  After so many years out-of-state, it is wonderful to return to my roots! I have two incredible daughters, Brittany and Natalie, who are the light of my life!  We love traveling together and experiencing new places and cultures.  When we aren’t out exploring the world, we enjoying playing board games or reading a good book. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my enthusiasm for learning and teaching with my amazing 5th graders.  I believe that life is full of wonder and we should learn something new everyday!
