About Me

I grew up in Burbank, California.  I have four children and seven grandchildren.  I became a teacher later in life, starting my education at BYU, raising a family, and then finishing my education at Dixie State (Utah Tech University).   I have spent my entire teaching career at Sunrise Ridge Intermediate.  I have taught Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, and Science. In my spare time I like to read, run, bike, take classes, travel, and spend time with my grandchildren.  My philosophy of education is to teach in a way that motivates my students to want to learn, instilling a love of learning that goes beyond the classroom.

"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.  Anyone who keeps learning stays young.  The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young."

Henry Ford
