I was born and raised in Price, Utah. I met and married my husband Tony in 2003; we have five kids - four boys and one girl. In 2014, we relocated to Elko, Nevada for my husband to work at the mines. I homeschooled my children up till 2016 when we joined the Elko charter school. I volunteered in my kids' classes and subbed for recess duty for two years. Then, in 2019, I became a full-time Special Education Aide here at EIAA. I am currently pursuing my Associates of Arts Degree that I will be obtaining in May of  2021. I enjoy spending time with my family hunting and being in the outdoors. When not in the outdoors, I enjoy watching movies and playing games.  It is a pleasure working with students and watching them grow.
