Bio:
I was born and raised just outside of Reno, NV and moved to Eastern Washington when I was just entering high school. I married my husband, John, who was serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, in 2004. Together we have two awesome boys - Andrew and Mason - who are both teenagers. I love to travel and have visited Mexico, Canada, Norway, Germany, Italy, Ireland and Scotland. Our little family has lived on both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts. We moved to Utah in 2013, initially to Lehi and later to Orem. I love to bake, sing, and play piano. I went back to school after years of working outside of the education field, though I have always wanted to teach. I received my degree in Elementary Education from WGU in April 2020, just after the Covid-19 pandemic began. I feel very fortunate to be a member of the NWA family and am grateful to be immersed in the amazing culture here at our school.
