This my second year at DVES as a reading para professional and I love teaching others to read! When I was young, my family didn’t have a television until I was 16  years old, so we all read books for entertainment and learning. Reading is a key to success and happiness in life. I’m glad to be able to help others learn this vital skill. 

I have a bachelors degree from Utah State University in Animal Science with a minor in Business. I enjoy accounting, book keeping, budgeting money, and was co-owner of a family construction/ evacuation business for 15 years. 

 I love everything about horses from artwork to training them in Western, English, jumping, driving,  showing, roping, reining, barrel racing and pole bending.

Including my children’s pets, we have four horses, two dogs, a cat, and six chickens.

My husband John and I love being married (28 years). We have 5 children. Four of our children still live at home and the youngest two are in school.

As a family we like to work together on construction and  home improvement projects. We enjoy riding 4×4’s, camping, fishing and being outdoors. 

We live close to DVES; when I hear children’s laughter at recess or hear the school bell ring it makes me smile. Diamond Valley is a great place to be.
