Hello, Panther Family!

This is my 3rd year teaching English at Schimelpfenig and my 9th year teaching English in Plano ISD. I am originally from Fayetteville, Arkansas, but I have spent many years learning how to be a Texan, and have made Plano our family home.  I am an avid reader, traveler, lover of the arts, and music. I love teaching middle school and watching students create a deeper connection to writing and literature.  I am excited about what this new school year has in store, and can't wait to meet the newest group of Schimelpfenig 8th Graders! It's going to be another fantastic year at SCHIM!
