This is my 26th year as a teacher.  I taught 1st grade in Michigan (Go Blue!) for 10 years, 4 years in 1st grade in Illinois, 1 year in kindergarten, 7 years in 1st grade, 2 years in 3rd, and this will be my second year in 4th grade at Weatherford.  I received a Bachelor's degree in Education and Psychology at the University of Michigan and my Master's degree in Early Childhood Education at Eastern University of Michigan.  I am married to my husband, Brian, who works at Dr. Pepper.  We have a daughter, Marissa, who is a special education teacher here at Weatherford.  We also have a son, Jay, who is a sophomore at Texas State.  We have 2 dogs and we love living life!
