Why Teaching? —It actually just kind of fell into my lap. I always wanted to be an orthodontist, but when I was in college, I got a feeling that I should do something else. I ended up taking some education classes and loved them!
Curriculum highlight —Our second grade Liberty Day Celebration was tons of fun this year! The students had miniature US flags, learned the lyrics to God Bless America, and had a parade around a few 5th grade classrooms and threw candy to the older students. They memorized The Preamble (complete with actions 😉) and performed it for 5th grade students as well. Mr. Cornell lent us some of his flags and the students learned about how the US flag has changed many times over the years. The students then created a watercolor design of their own US flag. It was so much fun!
Hobbies – Hiking, fishing, being outdoors, spending time with friends and family. I also love landscape photography and sunsets. If I can get a good picture on a hike, it’s a great day!

What brought you to AHS? – A previous co-worker of mine had families in her ward who attended and worked at AHS. She only had wonderful things to say about it, so I decided to check it out!
What is unique about AHS for you? —I love that the focus of AHS is all about our Savior. Being able to go to prayer meeting each morning with other staff members gives me a moment to think about what’s really important and gives me time to pause and have some self-reflection. It has changed my life for the better. Listening to my students pray daily has helped soften my heart and appreciate my students more each day. They’re the best!
