I am so excited to start our Second Grade year.  This is my 26th year of teaching.  I have taught 5th, 1st, 3rd, as well as Kindergarten in previous years. There isn't a grade/age I don't enjoy!  I received my undergraduate degree from Baylor University and received my Master's from University of North Texas specializing in gifted/talented. I am certified to teach Pre-K through 8th grade.  I had the unique privilege of doing part of my student teaching in Australia.  It was an amazing and very memorable experience. .  

My family consists of my son Drake(19) and my daughter Claire(17).  I can't believe my oldest is starting his sophomore year in college and my baby is a senior in high school!  We also have 2 cuddle magnet puppies, Shadow(6) and Gracie(6), that pretty much rule the house.  When I am not working, you can find me supporting my kids and their friends at all of their activities, volunteering around the community, and spending quality time with my family and/or friends.  I grew up right here in Plano.  Most of my family still live here as well!   

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have.  I enjoy having a partnership with the parents as we work together to help the kids grow.  Looking forward to a fantastic school year!
