It's hard to believe that I've been teaching for 10 years, and that now that's coming to an end! I've enjoyed my career! I spent 4 years teaching 8th and 9th graders, and the last 6 years teaching 7th grade! I also coached the girls basketball team for 5 years, and brought home 2 championships! It has been a great priviledge working with so many young people! They have kept me on my toes, kept me in the loop, and kept me laughing! I sure enjoy seeing them learn, grow, develop, and I especially enjoy instilling a love for science in them. These are three of my girls from this year, Maraysia, Cassidy, and Kylie! They are adorable, and it's kids like these that will make me wish I was back in the classroom next year!
I only hope that I'll enjoy my new job at the district office as much as I've enjoyed teaching. I go with some anxiety, as I'm not sure what all my new job will entail! It was time for a change though, and I'm excited to move on to something new, and I'm so thankful for the opprotunity I have to grow a little in my career.
About Us
Andy and I met on a blind date in Dec. 2005. One of my 7th grade students was his neice, and she set us up. Go figure. We saw each other every day after that! We were engaged by June and married in September of 2006. In January, 2008, we welcomed little Ethan into our home, and in August, 2010, little Addison arrived.
Andy is a diesel mechanic at Kennecott. I taught middle school science for ten years, and am now an evidence-based learning specialist for a school district.

What a huge change... but you are gonna be GREAT at your new position! Congrats on school being out :)
That's so neat! I'm sure you're a wonderful teacher. Good luck with your new job; I hope you get the summer off?
You are such a great teacher. You had such a great connection with the students--especially stalky, stalking boys. :) I wish you the best of luck. In some ways the teachers are worse than the students--definitely not as lovable. :) Ft. Herriman is losing one of its best!
