I am very happy to be a new teacher at Northwest Middle. I have worked with students in a scholastic setting for the past 13 years and have a passion for working with students of all abilities. I was born in Salt Lake City and simply love the mountains and all the outdoor activities here in Utah. I graduated from Westminster college and am currently pursing a graduate degree from there as well. In my off time I like to keep busy outside hiking, snowboarding and really anything that involves getting out and about. One of my most favorite things to do is travel. I love being involved in my community and volunteer for several non-profit organizations in the Salt Lake valley. If I am at home I love painting, playing the guitar, reading and movies….I watch a lot of movies. Much of my off time involves yoga, if I am not home or outside I am most likely at yoga. I am so excited to be a part of the team here at Northwest Middle School! It is going to be a fantastic year!
