Utah Curriculum Specialist
I am lucky enough to have been working with social study educators my entire career. I have found they are a remarkable, passionate group of people. It started for me in 7th grade when I fell in love with all things history. I graduated from Ball State University in Indiana with a business degree and soon went to work for a social studies publisher. I enjoy reading, spending time in my flower beds, and visiting family. I have been married for over 25 years now and have four kiddos that are quickly becoming young adults. I love my family fiercely and thoroughly enjoy what I do every day!
