a little about me

Email >

Julia Gee grew up trying to keep up with four brothers in Murray, UT and enjoyed girl stuff with three more sisters in Mapleton, Utah.  Her parents both were educators. She married her High School track star. As a high school graduate she was accepted to the UVU nursing program which was a little off her path, but the science classes were a privilege to discover the intricacies of the body, cells and universes. Also the new volleyball and basketball team needed players.  Consequently, these college years were satisfying.  After receiving an LPN license and working at Utah Valley Hospital, she enrolled in her dream at BYU in PE.  With 30 credit hours unfinished, a new baby and her husband landing a job at Northrop Grumman, college was discontinued until her sixth child went to kindergarten.

After receiving a Bachelor’s of Science in Elementary Education from Utah State, she competed for numerous teaching positions.  With the competition difficult, the choice was made to take a PE position at Box Elder School District.  When better opportunities to give came open at Maria Montessori the leap of faith was made. Montessori education captured her heart. But changes necessitated a move to Green Wood Charter School where she is passionate about their Healthy Habits. She finished those last 30 credit hours for PE and Health receiving her bachelors from Weber State.  

She is excited to continue her journey at GreenWood Charter School in teaching Science and Health. She earned her science endorsement through science coursework completed during nursing school, where she also gained valuable knowledge and experience in health and wellness. She looks forward to sharing her passion for science while helping students develop healthy habits and a deeper understanding of the world around them.
