Amy Nelson

2nd Grade Teacher

I met my forever love my senior year of high school at a Jazz Basketball game. Our home has been blessed with three beautiful, talented children. Taylor is a real estate agent, his wife Mady (whom we adore) is a certified CPA. McKenzee is going to school for cosmetology. Connor attends Fremont High School.

I have a passion for education! My love of teaching began at a very young age. I love seeing the children’s faces light up when they grasp a new concept! Education runs deep for me. My father, two aunts, my sister, my brother, and I are all educators. I’m so excited to be returning to teach first grade at Quest this year! Quest is truly the best! I attended both Weber State and Western Governor’s Universities. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies K-8.

Soccer is our family’s sport of choice. If we are not at home, odds are that we can be found on a soccer field.

I enjoy traveling, seeing new things, reading, playing the piano, crafting, camping, watching movies, and cooking, entertaining, baking, and playing games with my family, as well as friends. I absolutely LOVE going to the movies. My favorite movies are those based on historical events and places. I have a deep love for history and have a lot of historical places on my bucket list to visit. I LOVE chocolate and I LOVE diet Dr. Pepper, and Propels! I LOVE shopping for school resources for my students to use in our classroom. I love shopping for cool learning resources on Amazon! Some of my other favorites are Really Good Stuff, Lakeshore Learning, and Oriental Trading Education to name just a few.

I'm excited to get to know my class this year and be able to facilitate the learning experiences!
