Welcome to Pre-K! I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Brigham Young University and have taken a few masters courses in literacy, math, and social studies from the University of Alabama. I have been professionally teaching for 11 years in many different settings. I have taught in special education, kindergarten, first grade, fourth grade, ESL, and Title 1 tutoring in middle school. I have spent time volunteering in schools in Michigan, Texas, Utah, Mexico, and Ecuador. I love to travel inside and outside of the USA! I have been to Chile, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay, Brazil, Ecuador, Canada, England, Ireland, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain. I even lived in Mexico City for two years. My oldest two children went to preschool and kindergarten at the American School Foundation there. I am married to my best friend, and we are the parents of four amazing people. Our oldest daughter graduated with her master's degree last year. Our son graduated from his undergrad program a few months ago, and will begin his masters program this year. The other two are in college at BYU-Idaho. I love teaching, and helping children find personal success.  Being a part of a child's early school experience is amazing! My goal is to provide an individualized classroom where the children can learn in a fun, loving atmosphere! Thank you for sharing your children with me. I am looking forward to a great year!
