Hi, my name is Sarah Semadeni. I was born and raised in Logan, Utah. However, I have been living in the Southern Utah Valley area for the last 4 years. I received an associate's degree from Snow College and a Bachelor's degree from Utah Valley University. I majored in history education and social studies, with a minor in vocal performance and music. While I love listening to, learning about, and singing all different types of music, I have recently begun to specialize in Opera. When I am not singing, you can often find me reading, doing yoga, traveling, playing volleyball, horseback riding, learning something new, watching a movie, or enjoying time with friends and family. Currently, I speak Danish, but I am trying to learn Italian, French, German, and Spanish. 

Hi! My name is Mrs. Broderick. I am super excited to be at Mount Nebo Middle school this year where I will be teaching 7th grade science. Just a little about me- I graduated with my Bachelors from Utah State University and received my Master’s in Education from Western Governors University. I’ve been teaching 7th grade science the past four years in Mapleton. I love anything that has to do with science. I also enjoy being with my family, camping, boating, paddle boarding, drawing, running, playing basketball, watching football, and looking at the stars. I served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Bolivia and taught second grade in the Dominican Republic. I was a manager at Kyoto in Provo and Dalton’s Steakhouse in Payson. I also worked with BlendTec as a nutrition advocate and taught various nutrition classes around the western states. I was a massage therapist for about 20 years and also a personal trainer at Gold’s Gym where I met my husband. We have six incredible kids.

I love all animals. We have eight chickens, two cats, and a dog (that looks more like a bear). I also have five super cute class pets that LOVE the students and can’t wait for school to start again. In class, we have a bearded dragon named Gobi, a leopard gecko named Spike, a Russian Tortoise named Rusty, a tarantula named Echo, and a corn snake named Caramel. We also have a class ‘mascot’, a skeleton named Mortimer.
