Prior to my full-time Mom position, I grew up with nine siblings in Kaysville UT, acquired a Bachelors in English degree from Brigham Young University, served a full-time mission in Seattle, WA, worked as a paralegal in downtown New York, acquired a Masters in Education degree from Fordham University in New York, and spent a couple years tutoring for Sylvan and Kaplan Learning Centers.  But of all the things I've done, being a Mom is the most rewarding.
