[930]

I was born in Louisiana, and when I was 10 years old, my family moved to Michigan. I graduated
from high school in Michigan and then attended Brigham Young University for a couple of years
before serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Japan. Upon returning
from my mission, I attended Utah Valley University, at the time UVCC. I graduated in 1998 with a
bachelor’s degree in business.
I married my best friend, Greg Poulsen, in March 1998. We have four children, two boys and two
girls. My two oldest children are married, and I am a proud grandma of a beautiful granddaughter
and handsome grandson. I have a son with cerebral palsy who is the happiest kid around. He is
now 24 years old and loves the simple things in life. We adopted our youngest daughter in 2011, and
she has been the joy in our family. She has attended Lincoln Academy since kindergarten and
graduated 9th grade in 2026.
I started working at Lincoln Academy in the Special Education Department when my youngest
daughter was in first grade. I fell in love with all the students and enjoyed working the next few years
as a teacher’s assistant. Then in 2021, I went back to school to get a master’s degree in special
education to become a certified teacher. I graduated with my master’s degree in May of 2022, and I
love teaching in the special education department.
When I am not working, I enjoy traveling with my family. We have been to China, England, Italy,
France, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Japan, Hong Kong, and the Bahamas. We have also traveled
all over the United States. We love to camp and look for wildlife. My favorite animal to spot is a
moose. I also enjoy attending sporting events as well as watching them on television. It’s been fun
watching my youngest play soccer at Lincoln and win the championship.
