Biography

Hi! I’m Ms. Reed, and I teach art to your littles!

I have been creative my whole life, especially when it comes to making art. I believe art has a special way of connecting people, no matter their background, interests, or experiences. Through art, we can find common ground and celebrate what makes each of us unique.

I am currently attending Utah Valley University, where I am working toward my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. My journey into teaching started when I was 18. I had my associate degree and needed a job. I was living in St. George at the time, and the only job I could find on short notice was a substitute teaching position. The very first time I stepped into a classroom, I knew I was exactly where I was meant to be.

Teaching has given me more than I could ever give back. I am grateful every day for the opportunity to create a healthy, positive, and happy learning environment where every student feels welcome, valued, and free to be themselves.

When I’m not teaching art, I love to read, create, add to my many collections, and spend time in nature. I also love being “weird” and expressing myself through creativity! I believe there is something special about embracing the things that make us different.

Mountainville has such a beautiful community, and I am really grateful to be a part of it!
