“I am super excited for this year and all the fun new adventures we will experience together! I live in Honeyville with my husband Craig and 4 kids. I have 3 older kids ages 20,19 and 18 and a 9 year old caboose.!! My favorite things to do is to go camping with my family, art, and read. I have had lots of teaching experience in the last 15 years including owning my own preschool, worked with teens that need a little extra support and have been a substitute teacher for all ages. 3 years ago I decided I loved being in the classroom so much that I wanted my own classroom. So, I went back to school and finished my teaching degree at Utah State University. I am excited to have my first permanent classroom here in at Golden Spike teaching the 4th grade.”
We want to welcome Trisha Erickson to our 4th grade team! She is going to do great.

Outside of school, I love to spend time with my family. I like hiking, reading, so many fun things.”

I enjoy the laughter. I enjoy the challenge. I enjoy watching them grow in knowledge and ability. Everyone should always be learning, including me. I am learning to play the piano, be a good listener, and to work in the yard even though I don't like it. Besides teaching, I enjoy reading, exercising, and building puzzles.”
