I am a graduate of Western Governors University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies K-8. Upon graduation I took a position as a first grade teacher at a local elementary. This year marks 7 years as a first grade teacher. I teach phonemic awareness, phonics, reading, writing, math, science, and social studies. I am passionate about my work and would not want to do anything else! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three children, reading, and finding ways to enrich our lives.
