Mrs. Willis has over 25 years of teaching experience in kindergarten through third grade. She grew up in Provo where she attended Brigham Young University and graduated with a bachelor's in Elementary Education and taught first grade for a year in Sandy. After serving an LDS mission in the Massachusetts Boston Mission, she taught first grade at Lindon Elementary for two years. She and her husband then moved to Alaska where she lived for the next 24 years until moving back to Utah in August of 2008.  She has taught Kindergarten for two years at American Heritage School.  In Alaska, Mrs. Willis taught for 20 years in pubic schools. While in Alaska, Mrs. Willis also completed a Masters degree in Educational Leadership and spent two years as an Elementary School principal. After retiring, she volunteered with the Alaska PTA, taught piano lessons, and home-schooled her youngest child. She and her husband have eight children. In her spare time, Mrs. Willis enjoys spending time with her family, going for walks, playing games, reading, doing family history research, baking, and playing and listening to music. During her years in the classroom, Mrs. Willis taught science curriculum to all of her classes as there were no science specialists in elementary public schools.   Over the years she has helped her own children raise a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, birds, fish, a rabbit, and snakes.  She has a love of nature and a deep love and appreciation for the Creator of it.  She is looking forward to sharing that love with the young students in the K-4 science classes at American Heritage. __________________________________________________________________________
