Hi there! I was born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky. I graduated from the University of Kentucky with a B.A. in Education and have my TX teaching certification, as well as my ESL supplemental ceritification. I've been living in Dallas, Texas for a little over five years now with my little pup, Frankie.  This will be my third year teaching at the Elementary level. I have previously taught 1st grade and 3rd grade and I couldn't be happier starting this new path in the PISD Virtual Academy. Teaching elementary students has always been my passion since I was a young girl. I've loved every part of this career since day one and I feel so fortunate that I get the opportunity to make a difference in a child's life everyday.  I am committed to inspiring my students to be the best that they can be. Not only in a classroom setting, but as they move forward in all aspects of their life. I am determined to make every student feel comfortable and confident when they are in my classroom. I strive to encourage EVERY student to reach their full potential!
