About Miss Lloyd

I have taught for 11 years, all of which have been at Welby Elementary. 7 years were in 4th grade and this is my 4th year in 5th grade. I love 5th grade!

I graduated from the University of Utah in 2008 with my Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and again in 2012 with my Master's Degree in Educational Psychology (Reading and Literacy).

I love summer, traveling, hiking, road biking, reading, and teaching!
