Teaching Assistants

I fell in love with WPA many years ago while volunteering in my own children’s classrooms. Since then, I have worked at WPA for over ten years. I love working with the kids and watching them learn and grow. 

I have been working at Wasatch Peak Academy for 4 years. I love working in childcare, helping students with their work, getting to know them, and the broad range of personality they have. I've worked in childcare for 20 plus years. I have 2 kids of my own who are passionate about their sports. I guess you could say I'm a baseball mom. Besides watching my kids on the ball field, my favorite things to do is read a good book.

I am a former chef who decided to change careers during the pandemic. I have a daughter who is elementary age. I decided to work in this school because they do such an amazing job. I love working to better the future of children. I hope to one day get my teaching license and work as a teacher.  

Lauren Holdaway attended Wasatch Peak Academy K-6th. She loved it so much she decided to come back as a TA! She loves working with kids and looks forward to another year with the amazing staff and students!

I have worked at WPA since 2023 and have enjoyed every moment of it.  I enjoy working with the wonderful educators and staff, in addition to encouraging and helping students across many grades.  I am married with three children and love spending time and being active with my adorable family.  

Parlee joined the WPA team in 2023 and has loved it! She loves working with all the students! She loves to go camping, read, babysit, and play with her chickens. She’s excited for another year of WPA!

I’m so excited to come back to WPA for my second year! Ever since I was little, I dreamed of being a teacher. This led me to pursue a degree in Elementary Education. When I’m not at school, I enjoy reading, painting, and sewing.

Bree Ammons loves the community and culture of WPA. With her last of four kids in Kindergarten she decided to go from volunteering in her kids' classrooms to working in their classrooms. When Bree isn't working, she loves performing in community theater, working in her yard, enjoying all forms of the performing arts and the outdoors.

I am thrilled to be a part of the WPA team as a TA! I have always had a passion for working with children. I am excited to support both the teachers and the students in creating a positive, fun, and engaging classroom environment. 

It's my first year at WPA! I’m currently working on my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education at Western Governors University! My hobbies include reading, baking, and playing board games. I am so excited to further explore my career at WPA!

I had an amazing experience attending WPA as a student many years ago and have recently made it back but in a TA aspect! So excited to work with this amazing faculty and staff! 

I am new to Utah and excited about joining the WPA team! I'm studying for my degree in Elementary Education and hope to become a first grade teacher. Working with children is more meaningful than any other job I've had in the past. I love working with kids and watching them learn and grow! In my free time I love to thrift, read, and listen to music.
