Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!

I am so excited about being the Dyslexia Specialist this year at Otto Middle School! This is my absolute dream job and I can't wait to work with my students. Growing up, I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher. So, after graduating from Allen High School in 2009, I packed up my things and headed to Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas to earn my Bachelors Degree. I love learning so much, I went back to SFA and got my Masters degree in Elementary Eduction with an emphasis as a reading specialist in May of 2023.  This is my 11th year in education; prior to becoming the dyslexia specialist I taught 4th grade ELAR and Social Studies for two years, 5th grade ELAR and Socials Studies for two and a half years, interventionist for two years, and 6th grade ELAR for one year. This is my 3rd year in this role and I absoblutley love woking with my students! I can't wait for another amazing year. 

When I am not at school you can usually find me  reading. When I am not working on school work, I am usually reading for fun, working on puzzles, cross stitching,  spending time with family or playing with my cat Ziva.
