ABOUT ME: Although I live in Texas now, I grew up in California and then attended Brigham Young University in Utah. While at BYU, I met my husband, and we've now been married for 6 years. He graduates from medical school at UT Southwestern in Dallas on May 27th, and then we are moving to Minneapolis where he will be attending the University of Minnesota for his general surgery residency. We have a dog named Penny and a dog named Lincoln- their names are a coincidence.
EDUCATION: I graduated from Brigham Young University having earned a Bachelor of Science in Family Life with an emphasis in Human Development. Essentially, I studied the cognitive, social, and emotional development of children, adolescents, and adults, as well as the psychology of relationships amongst individuals and families. As you can imagine, it comes in handy as a teacher. After we moved to Texas, I found my true passion in teaching English Language Arts. I went back to school at UT Dallas and earned my teacher certification in English Language Arts and Reading 4-8. I also have a supplemental certification in English as a Second Language.
HOBBIES: I LOVE reading. Some of my all-time favorite books include Harry Potter, Pride & Prejudice, The Shoemaker's Wife, and Little Women. I read a lot of YA Literature, but my favorite genre is historical fiction. I take a book with me everywhere I go. Outside of reading, I also love photography, cooking/baking, and taking road trips.
