I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah but moved away from Utah when I was three. I grew up living in Texas, California, Florida and mostly New York. I have taught at Saratoga Shores since it opened five years ago. (Has it really been that long). I have 5 children, four girls and one boy. I went back to school after my fourth child was born and graduated from UVSC (I guess I can say UVU now) in 1999. I have been working for Mr. Martin since, first at Sego Lily in Lehi and then here. You may have noticed that I am not in the office anymore and I am glad to be back working with my favorite second graders. We are a soccer family with three of my children playing on their high school teams. I have loved to read since I was little but have added other hobbies to my life such as quilting and cross-stitch (all those long soccer games).
