TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Before becoming an educator, I had just graduated from college with my B.A. in communication. I then observed a family friend's 3rd grade classroom and I was HOOKED! I had to become a teacher. I am the literacy coach at my school and previously taught 1st grade for six years.

MY TEACHING STYLE

Positive reinforcement with a focus on relationships and student social/emotional needs. I also am focused on differentiation for gifted/talented population. I love using technology in my classroom where it will help my lesson pacing, flow, and rigor while also keeping my students engaged and interacting in ways they couldn't before. I am also a huge believer in flexible seating in primary grades.

HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY

I received my M.Ed. from the University of Utah in Elementary Education. I received my ESL and Gifted/Talented endorsements and am currently working on my educational technology endorsement. I am LETRS and Google Education Level 1 and 2 certified.

ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

Born and raised in Utah. Lived in California for a while chasing the dream of being a world famous chef back in the 2000's when all the Food Network chefs made it look so fun! When I am not working, I love to read books on my Kindle, watch the news (yes, I am that person), go on walks with my bulldog, and play video games. If I could go anywhere in the world, it would be Europe. More specifically Italy, France, and Ireland. Wanted to visit Japan when I was younger and did a study abroad in Osaka. Highly recommend visiting at least once.
