A Little About Me...

I was born and raised in Tooele, Utah. My family moved to Henderson, Nevada when I was in 7th grade. I have two brothers and one sister.

I have a wonderful and supportive husband, Gary. We have two beautiful daughters, Alyssa and Kenadee. Alyssa is in 1st grade and Kendee will be in preschool this summer.

Our family loves to travel, swim, ride bikes, watch movies, and play board games together.

YouTube Posting

I am very excited to announce I have learned how to successfully insert a YouTube video into a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. With this knowledge, I can now help my second graders create their very own PowerPoint presentations with YouTube videos. Another benefit of learning how to insert videos into my PowerPoint presentations is students can and will be more engaged in my lessons as I show, teach, and present different and challenging concepts.
