Hello, Panther Family!

This is my 4th year teaching English at Schimelpfenig and my 10th year teaching English in Plano ISD. I am originally from Fayetteville, Arkansas.  I have spent many years learning how to be a Texan, and have definitely 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 also the PALs sponsor.  Through PALs our mission is to increase positive communication and support on our school campus and community through our student leaders. 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!
