I earned my degree from Utah State University; a dual major in Early Childhood and Elementary Education with an emphasis in science and an endorsement in math. The endorsements come from earlier declared majors of Aeronautics and Environmental Engineering. I finally found my niche in Education and have not regretted any minute of it. I taught kindergarten prior to becoming Assistant Director, and then Director at Odyssey. I have since earned a master’s degree in Educational Leadership and an endorsement in Instructional Coaching. I have been at Odyssey since its inception and love everything about it!
I love traveling and have been many places within the United States as well as abroad. But with all my travels and adventures, my favorite place to go is deep into any red rock canyon in south central Utah. My number one favorite thing to do is backpacking with my family! The canyons we go to are rarely visited by others. It’s a success when we end a trip without seeing another hiker! When I can’t fit in a backpack trip, I head up to the local canyons to enjoy the outdoors! My children have acquired this passion as well. We go into withdrawal if too much time passes between red rock adventures.
I have a passion for reading. My favorite book usually happens to be the one that I am currently reading. It is nearly impossible for me to walk out of a bookstore with one book (and in less than one hour). I dream of owning a library and reading hours and hours each day. In my spare time, which is rare, I love reading, exercising, yard work, going for walks, and occasionally binge-watching a Netflix series.

I am excited to be a part of the amazing Odyssey team. After moving around a lot growing up, I graduated from college with a degree in History. Before I settled at Odyssey most of my professional life was spent in hospitality management. I have been at Odyssey since 2006 and still love every minute. I enjoy the time I get to spend watching students learn and grow. When not at Odyssey the thing I enjoy most is spending time with my family. I have a beautiful wife, six children, and 3 grandkids.

I grew up in Huntington, a very small town in south eastern Utah. I am the second of four children and I also have a step-sister and step brother. I studied early childhood education at CEU (now USU Eastern) and UVU.I taught preschool and helped run an after school program for 5 years before quitting to be a full time mom.
My husband Chuck and I are blessed to have 5 amazing kids all of whom have attended/are attending Odyssey. My second son was actually born the day my oldest son started Kindergarten here so I know the exact day we started at Odyssey!
When I am not here feeding your children amazing breakfasts and lunches I am at home sewing, singing, or hanging out with my family, attending plays (especially musicals), or being obsessed with playing board games.
The 2023-24 school year marks 15 years I have been employed at Odyssey Charter School. I have enjoyed working in the classroom and front office and look forward to another year of possibilities and growth. It’s rewarding being part of the Odyssey team in helping students thrive and aiding in the success of this wonderful school. I truly enjoy working with the students, staff and administration at Odyssey.
I reside with my husband, Mat, in Lindon. We are the parents of four sons, three of whom are married, and blessed with four beautiful granddaughters. I enjoy gardening, reading, crossword puzzles, Wordle, movies, sports and family history. My passion is spending time with family and being a grandma.
