President
I am very excited to be joining the Wasatch Peak Academy Board of Directors! I am very conscious of the need to ensure that all students feel respected, included and have a sense of belonging. I feel privileged to be able to help ensure that other children have the same opportunity!
Vice Chair
I am a mom, educator, business owner, and traveler come with over 15 years of knowledge and experience in education, with a strong focus in charter schools. I graduated from Utah State University with my BS in Elementary Education, and later went back to school to earn my Masters in Educational Leadership. I have been a teacher, reading specialist, curriculum director, and elementary principal. I have also served as a leader on state school accreditation committees. I have been impressed with the passion and commitment of the WPA school leadership and board to create and implement programs and systems that have led to lasting student success.

Board Member
I am honored and excited to join the board at Wasatch Peak!
I chose Wasatch Peak for its smaller class sizes as well as its proven academic performance. I love that the teachers, faculty and staff all know the students by name. I think it's important for our children to feel welcome and comfortable while at school. I graduated from Weber State University with a BS degree in Sales, and I have been in the insurance industry for over 20 years. I'm excited to be involved in my son's education and I look forward to this opportunity!
Board Secretary
I am pleased to be a member of the Board of Directors for Wasatch Peak Academy. My oldest daughter started kindergarten at WPA 13 years ago and three more children have followed. I have been heavily involved with the PTO these past 13 years and look forward to the four I have left! I love being in the school and a part of my children’s education.
I think every child deserves a great education. To not only be met where they are but to be encouraged and given what they need to grow. No school does this better than WPA and I am honored to be a small part of it.
Board Member
I am so excited to join the board of this excellent school! I have two kids currently attending and one that will be in a couple years. We chose Wasatch Peak Academy for its commitment to academics, small classroom sizes, service based learning and Spanish program. I look forward to being able to serve the school and help continue its commitment to educating an awesome generation of students.
I love education and completed my BS and Master of Accountancy at Utah State University (Go Aggies!). I am a Certified Public Accountant and currently head revenue accounting, technical accounting and financial reporting at Qualtrics.
Board Member
I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve on WPA’s board. Ever since our family started attending WPA ten years ago, I have been amazed at how WPA is truly a different and better choice for my family. I attended Utah State University and graduated with a bachelor’s and master’s degree in civil engineering. I am a licensed professional engineer and manage projects for municipalities, governments and special service districts in a variety of water system, storm drainage and floodplain management projects. Through my educational and life experiences, and the realization of how much my education has meant to me in my life, I have become passionate about educational attainment for all our children. I hope to support WPA in continuing to provide a strong early start for our children’s educations.
