Peach Tree Classroom


7TH & 8TH GRADE

ELA

Our 7th and 8th grade curriculum is exciting and active!  On a daily basis, students create one-on-one mentoring relationships with their teachers, participate in social and emotional learning, actively engage in the curriculum through movement and interpersonal skills, and close gaps in their learning. We get outside regularly and find ways to connect students to their school community, their city and county communities and even further into their state community.

a little about me

Email >

It has been my joyful experience to teach in education for two years now!

Prior to teaching, I taught in outdoor education for six years. I have had the pleasure of leading backpacking excursions, teaching rock climbing, guiding nature school hikes, and coaching mountain biking. I worked and volunteered with organizations such as Powder Mountain, Friends of the Great Salt Lake, Trails Foundation of Northern Utah, the Weber State Outdoor Program and adjunct teaching at Weber State in the Recreation Program. From my career as a guide, my educational philosophy is that learning should be hands on and get a little messy!

“The world is not in your books and maps. It’s out there.” Gandalf, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey”

I attended Weber State University where I obtained a Bachelor’s of Science in Outdoor Community Recreation Education, an emphasis in Outdoor Administration and a minor in Military Science. Beginning in the Fall of 2025, I am pursuing a Master’s of Arts in English from Weber State University.  Due to my work in outdoor education, I also hold several certifications such as Utah Master Naturalist, Leave No Trace Level 2 Trainer, BICP Level 1 mountain bike coach, AIARE Level 1, and Wilderness First Responder.

In my spare time, you can find me reading (naturally), skiing in the winters, trail running and mountain biking in the summer with my husband. I am a devoted nerd, loving all things fantasy, sci-fi, and Jane Austen. I strive to live an active lifestyle, volunteer, and engage in local government. From May 2023-May 2025 I served on the Ogden Trail Network Committee running their social media and trail building. I volunteer in the spring and summer as a Ride Leader with local nonprofit WomenMTB. It is also my duty and honor to serve our country in the Utah Army National Guard.

I hope all students leave my classroom with a passion for reading and writing and I believe that everyone has the right to read and write. I can’t wait to have your students in English Language Arts!
