About Me

I was born 6th in a family of 8 children to an Air Force father who moved us to new homes in Albuquerque, New Mexico (where I was born), Kaiserslautern, Germany, the island of Crete, Greece, and Las Vegas, Nevada. I am married and have four children, two girls and two boys and one son-in-law. I have three college degrees, a Bachelor of Science from BYU in Marriage, Family, and Human Development, a Bachelor of Science from UVU in Elementary Education, and a Masters in Education from SUU. Since 2001 we have enjoyed living and playing in Payson. I love hiking, swimming, the beach, running, Oregon, reading, photography, and laughing (of course!). I LOVE all things SCIENCE and would love to go to any NASA location. I'm super excited to be your teacher!

My oldest daughter, Anna, served a mission in Tokyo, Japan. She and Carter Figgins have been married for two years; they both attend USU. My next daughter, Olivia, served a mission in Belgium and the Netherlands and is attending BYU. My oldest son, Anthony is working full-time and maintains a fitness blog. My youngest son, Daniel, graduated early and attends UVU.

This summer I've had fun by waking up to NO alarm clock, weight lifting, running, spending a week on the Oregon Coast visiting family, traveling in France, England, the Netherlands, and Belgium for two weeks, and getting ready for you!
