Trusted Advocate: Teachers and parents in my schools know they can count on me to keep them informed and to seek their input on issues within our district as I advocate for them.  I was instrumental in guiding our district toward upholding state laws for school closures last year.  I am committed to supporting every child in our schools, and I’ve worked consistently with district leaders to help special programs like ALL, DLI, and Special Education stay strong.  I love bringing people with diverse beliefs together to build on common ground and work together for a brighter future. 

​

Experienced Educator: I’ve taught in every grade from preschool through 5th and loved every minute of it! I've seen the needs of students & parents from the classroom perspective and understand how teachers can be better supported in their professional work.  I earned a Bachelors degree in Education from Brigham Young University and a Masters degree in Education from Webster University. 

​

Engaged Parent: I have 5 children in Alpine School District in elementary, junior high, and high school. I love public education and want to make it better for generations to come!

​

Active Volunteer:  I’ve spent thousands of hours volunteering in my children’s schools. I’ve successfully organized school carnival fundraisers and reflections art programs for years. I am currently thrilled to be a part of our school’s production team for our upcoming performances of Beauty and the Beast Jr.  I also cherish the time I carve out of my schedule each Friday to read with second graders in my daughter’s classroom. 

​

Effective Leader:  Over the years I’ve been grateful to serve in many leadership capacities on Local and Council PTA’s and on School Community Councils.  I have a strong track record and have worked closely with legislators, teachers, and parents in shaping laws and creating policies to better serve us all.
