About Ms. Baker

Get to Know Your Teacher

I was born and raised in Provo, Utah with my two sisters and parents. Since the beginning, my sisters and I have always participated in extracurricular activities. If there was a city league team in any sport, you could count on us signing up. Throughout high school and college I was employed at Provo Florist where I learned to design floral arrangements. I decided to pursue my Bachelor's degree in my twenties, and after spending time in the Aviation program at Utah Valley University, I realized I loved instructing more than I loved flying itself. That realization pushed me into the School of Education at Utah Valley University to work towards a degree in Physical Education Teaching Education.

I am married to my high school sweetheart and have a daughter named Rhea and a son named Cassius. I love cats, learning new skills, and going to the movies. My favorite foods are Japanese and Mexican food, any chocolate, and a good cup of coffee. I really love Halloween and the 4th of July, and I'm always looking for a chance to travel and have fun with my little family. 

Growing up I cherished athletics and valued the team and individual reliance that came with it. I hope to share life and fitness skills that will apply to you beyond high school, as well as create an environment that allows you to be comfortable with working hard and trying new things. I'm excited to improve our lifestyle and fitness together!
