I grew up in Dallas, Texas and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin.  After graduation, I began teaching first grade in PISD.  After 7 years, I had my first child and decided to stay home. I stayed home for 13 years before deciding to come back to teaching and joining the Mitchell family.  This will be my 8th year at Mitchell.  I spent my first 4 years teaching first grade and then helped start Mitchell’s PreK program.  This will be my fourth year teaching PreK.  I have a wonderful husband and have been married for 24 years.  I have 3 children.  My oldest son is 19 and goes to the University of Texas at Austin.  My daughter is 16 and my youngest son is 15.  They will be a Junior and a Sophomore at The Plano Academy High School.  In my spare time I like going for long walks, reading, shopping, and spending time with my large extended family.
