I have had the honor of teaching students in preschool and elementary for 19 years. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education from Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from Arizona State University. My journey to mindfulness began almost 5 years ago through my participation in the Mindful Schools Fundamentals, Educator’s Essentials, Mindful Communication, Difficult Emotions, and their year long certification course. I am a certified Mindfulness Instructor through Mindful Schools and certified in SEL and Yoga through Breathe for Change. Currently, I am a student at Southwest Institute in the Health and Wellness program. I have personally felt the drastic impact that mindfulness and yoga has brought to my life, my family, and my students and their families. Learning to live life in the present moment with curiosity, showing compassion and grace to ourselves and others, and promoting kindness defines MY purpose and what I hope to bring to others.
