Grew up here in Utah Valley and attended BYU to earn B.S. and M.Ed. degrees. I am married to Brian Smith and have five children. I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and currently serve in primary. In earlier years I taught students in special education in Jordan and Provo School Districts. I gained experience in both mild/moderate and severe settings in elementary schools and high school. Learning and teaching make me happy. Other hobbies include reading, sports, cooking, animals, traveling, and spending time with my family.
