Mrs. Lucero graduated from the University of Utah, with her Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development and Family Studies, with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education and Child Life.   She has worked with children since the age of 16, in varying capacities, such as Kindergarten Aide, Special Education Aide, Special Education Assistant, and General Education Teacher in Preschool, and K-4 grade levels over the last 13 years.  Her career in public education began while living overseas in Germany with her husband, where she worked and taught on a military base.  Upon returning to the States, she continued her career working in the Head Start Program, and then started working as a full time teacher with local charter schools teaching grades K-3.   She is very excited to dive into online learning with the Elevated Charter community and her cohort families.  She loves teaching and knows that students need love, respect, and understanding in a nurturing and safe environment in order to be the best version of themselves, and be successful learners.

Mrs. Lucero is married, with one daughter who will be entering junior high in the fall.  She has an Australian Kelpie dog, and a leopard gecko at home that she enjoys playing with and attending to.  She loves to spend all her extra time with her family doing things such as camping, kayaking on lakes, traveling, attending broadway shows, Utes gymnastics, and baking.  Her hobbies also include sewing and crafting, using her creative skills to make things for her home, friends, and family.
