I'm excited to be teaching alongside an amazing intervention team here at Ascent! This is my 16th year in education, and I've had the opportunity to teach a wide variety of grade levels and work with students with many different strengths and needs.

I was born and mostly raised in the Seattle area and came to Utah for college. I graduated from BYU with a bachelor's degree in Elementary and Early Childhood Education and earned my Master of Education from SUU. I also recently received my Reading Specialist endorsement. I enjoy helping students develop a love of learning and recognize that everyone has unique strengths, needs, and paths to success.

Outside of school, I enjoy sewing, singing, and playing the flute. I have two very spoiled cats, and I occasionally foster kittens as well. As a Seattle girl, I'm still not a fan of Utah's summer heat or winter cold, but I love being outdoors in the spring and fall!

I've been part of the Saratoga community for many years and especially enjoy running into families and former students "in the wild." It's one of my favorite parts of being part of this community.
