College(s): University of Texas

Teaching History: After graduating college, I knew I wanted to be part of PISD. I spent 5 years at Skaggs Elementary teaching 2nd grade and Kindergarten. I recently moved back from Brooklyn where I've spent the last six years teaching 2nd and 4th grades. This is my 4th year teaching 4th grade and my first year at the IB World School @ Huffman Elementary!

Family: My 13 year old mini-dachshund Heidi

Interests/Hobbies Outside of School: I love to exercise, cook, travel, and spend time with my friends.

Why did you want to start the IB PYP at Huffman? I am passionate about the learner profile traits contributing to the education of the whole child. When children internalize these traits, they will accomplish great things!
