Bio:
I am a dyed-in-the-wool desert rat. I've done lots of hiking and canyoneering—mostly in Southern Utah. I love to travel to places rich with history and beauty. I was a gymnast for 16 years and am now a devoted fan of NCAA gymnastics. I love a good adventure and am always looking to knock something off my long list of life goals. In contrast, I can also be found curled up with a good book or studying genealogy. I am entering my 26th year of being a teacher and have taught kids from pre-school to 9th grade.
Favorite McGillis lunch:
Enchiladas, Fish Tacos, Gyros
I am learning to:
Refinish and flip furniture
I am currently reading:
The Exiles by Christina Baker Kline
Favorite McGillis tradition:
I love our Variety Show. The range and depth of our students' talents blows me away!
Which value do you most appreciate?
Limud L'ishma--the minute one stops learning is the minute one stops living.
The defining moment that led to your career in education:
I knew I would be a teacher in second grade when I found myself analyzing what my teacher was doing and deciding whether or not I would do it that way when I got my own classroom.
Favorite McGillis moment:
Watching teachers win the Norris Award. It's so wonderful seeing a great teacher get recognized in such a meaningful way.
What is a powerful moment you experienced at school?
It was so exciting and a little unnerving when, during my first year at McGillis, Matt Blake and I began taxing students' classroom economy money as an experiential lesson on the American Revolution. They were so affronted that they picketed during recess, held a sit-in, conspired for change, and ultimately held an election to represent themselves with the teachers. It was such a pure learning experience that I will never forget.
