I am a proud graduate of Southwest Texas State University, now Texas State University.  I received my Masters in Education as well as my Gifted Certification from the University of North Texas.   I started my teaching career in PISD as a first grade teacher at Brinker Elementary in 1991.  I moved to Mitchell in 1992 when it opened that fall.  I have taught second, fifth, and third at Mitchell.  I am excited about being back in second grade!  

I have been married to my husband, Jimmy, for 27 years.  We have two beautiful girls, Ginny and Grace, who also attended Mitchell during their elementary years.  Ginny has returned to Mitchell to be a fourth-grade teacher. Grace is a senior at Plano Senior High School, where she is the manager of the drill team.  We also have a loveable dog named Buddy.  

In my spare time I enjoy reading, crafting, watching football, going to plays, and spending time at church.
