I taught 5th grade for 6 years before joining North Star Academy. I have been at North Star Academy for 2 years serving as the Assistant Director and teaching Middle School Math. I received a BA in Elementary Education (K-8) and a Masters in Science Education (5-9) from Western Governors University. I have a Level 2 license and I am currently working on completing a Masters in Secondary Math Education which will provide me with a Level 4 Math Endorsement. I'm so excited that I will graduate this June. I love being a part of the North Star family and look forward to another great year.
I was born in Beckley, West Virginia but spent most of my adult life in Louisville/Lexington, Kentucky. My family and I moved to Utah 10 years ago. I married my junior high school sweetheart...way back when... and we have 2 kids and a Havanese named Chino. Our daughter, who loves to sing and act, will be a Freshman this year at Utah State University and is studying Aerospace Engineering. Our son, who is a serious gamer, will be in 8th grade at Draper Park Middle School this year.
In my spare time I enjoy reading, swimming, hiking, skiing, and most of all spending time with my family and Chino.
