I am a National Board Certified Teacher and Utah Teacher Fellow from the Salt Lake City School District. I have found joy in teaching Social Studies, Social Skills, and Special Education at the secondary level. This year, I am working as a behavior specialist for the district. I am passionate about quality instruction, ed policy, differentiation, my wonderful children, my awesome mini-van, and equity in our schools.
