College(s): University of North Texas

Teaching History: This is my 7th year teaching and 3nd year in Plano ISD. I taught first grade for one year in Dallas ISD, Kindergarten for 3 years in Garland ISD and Pre K a year for PIAS at Beaty Early Childhood. Last year I taught 4th Grade at Huffman, this year I am so excited to have the chance to teach 1st grade again!

Family:  I am married to my husband Aaron and we just adopted our dog Rebel (aka the best pup ever!). I also have 6 sisters, their husbands, kids and my parents. We are one big happy family!

Interests/Hobbies Outside of School: I absolutely love reading! I also spend as much time as I can with my family and my dog.

Why did you want to start the IB PYP at Huffman? Children’s curiosity has always fascinated me. At Huffman I have the chance to nourish that curiosity and expand my student’s understanding of themselves and the world around them.
