I am so excited to be teaching 4th grade this year!! I was born in Atlanta, GA. After moving several times as a child, I called Westerville, OH home. I graduated from Ashland University with a bachelor's degree in Human Development/Family Services, but I am an Ohio State Buckeye at heart. I taught preschool and was a director of childcare centers for 4 years before becoming a stay-at-home Mom. I was a substitute teacher for KG-12th grade within PISD for 8 years prior to becoming a full time teacher. This will be my sixth year teaching here at Hughston. My husband Joe and I live in Plano and have 3 amazing kids. Madison is a PISD teacher, Katherine is continuing her education at Parker University, and Robby is a senior at PSHS - GO WILDCATS!! In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends, hiking, vacationing at a good beach or snow-covered mountain, and a good book! I can't wait to grow with my students this year:)
