Even when I was young, I knew I wanted to be a teacher.  Teaching science has also been one of my dreams and I am loving implementing the state's new science standards.  These standards help students better understand scientific reasoning and inquiry, not just remember random facts.  I once heard someone say that we are preparing kids today for jobs that do not yet exist.  I believe that this true and I can see the potential these students have.  An education should empower a child and help him or her make a positive contribution to the world.

In 2013 I graduated from Southern Utah University with my degree in Education with an emphasis in science. I am originally from Southern Utah, spent a bit of time out East in New York City, but I am quickly learning to love Cache valley.  I love playing sports, going outside to explore, and playing games with my friends/family.
