First

• I received an associates degree in Early Childhood Education from Dixie State University and graduated with my Bachelors degrees in Elementary Education from Utah Tech University. 
• This is a year of firsts for me- my first year teaching, my first year at Majestic, and my first year teaching first grade! 
• My favorite subject to teach is literacy because it is important in EVERYTHING we do!
• My favorite part of teaching is when students make progress. I love celebrating the progress students have made because it’s so important to celebrate everyone's accomplishments and hard work.
• When I’m not teaching, you can find me outdoors with my family and friends. We like to go camping, hiking, going to the lake, and enjoying time together. 
• One of my favorite books is Island of the Blue Dolphins. I remember when my second grade teacher read that book and I have loved it ever since. 
• My favorite quote is, “education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela.
