I have taught for sixteen years at Mathews Elementary. I'm excited about being on the 2nd grade team. Mathews became my home when my own daughter started 1st grade here 19 years ago. I grew up in Oklahoma and graduated from Cameron University with a B.B.A in Finance and a minor in C.I.S. When I'm not with my Mathews family, I'm at home here in Plano with my husband Joe and our two cute Goldendoodles – Boomer and Gig'ee. Joe and I have just celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary. My daughter Lauren graduated from the University of Oklahoma and is now a fourth year medical student at Albany Medical College in Albany, NY and my son Chad is a graduated from Texas A&M in College Station, TX last May and moved to Manhattan to work for Charles Schwab. Both of my children attended Mathews, so we have many fond memories of this wonderful school, and I'm happy to be a Mathews Maverick!
