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, enjoying animals, traveling, and spending time with my family.
