Early Childhood Specialist for the Deaf/Hard of Hearing
I was born and raised in Providence, in beautiful Cache Valley, Utah. I graduated with my Bachelor’s from Utah State University in 2008 in Family Consumer and Human Development with an emphasis in Deaf Education. I then graduated with my Master’s in 2010, also from Utah State in the Sensory Early Impaired program: deaf track, AKA Deaf Education, birth to three.
While going to school, I worked at a child development center as an infant teacher. After I graduated, I worked for Up to Three Early Intervention as a service coordinator and developmental specialist for two and half years.
In January of 2013, I began working as a parent advisor for the School for the Deaf and I work with families in Davis and Box Elder Counties. I have a great love and passion for working with families who have children with hearing loss.
I also just graduated from the University of Utah with an endorsement in deaf and special education from age 3-5 and now also have a teaching license for preschool.
In my spare time, I love to swim, ice skate, read, watch good movies and research family history. I also have a great love for traveling and my goals are to visit every state in the US and to experience Ireland in depth. I also have a great love for anything and everything Disney.
