Diane Nelson

SpED Teacher

Welcome! I'm excited to be a part of the Bridge Elementary team. After working in school districts for 20 years, I finally found an educational model that I believe in. I have a bachelor's degree from Weber State and a master's degree from the University of Alaska Southeast. I've taught in Idaho, California and Alaska, but Utah is my home. I learned that my ancestors fought hard to be here so I shouldn't be so quick to leave. I love it here and all of my family live close. My passion is teaching and helping children find success.  I have a son and two teenage daughters plus two kittens who are all my joy. My hobbies include genealogy, history, geography, and traveling. This summer I learned that I can have fun doing things that I'm not particularly good at, like painting, golfing, and hiking and look forward to finding many other activities that are new to me.
