I am teaching Applied Reading for all grades this year at Frankford Middle School. This is my second year teaching. I got my BA from Texas State University with a History Major, Political Science Minor, and a Geography Third Field. I am an Army kid so I grew up moving around a lot; I have lived in Texas, Louisiana, Germany, and Kentucky! I love traveling around the country and the world learning more about other people and their cultures. I also love talking about my travels and random history knowledge, so by all means ask any questions you have!

I am super excited to be working at Frankford because I will be teaching amazing students with my fellow educators who believe that ALL students deserve a well-rounded and equitable education. Part of the reason I became a teacher was that I believe every student has the ability to achieve greatness both in and out of the classroom if they are provided the right support. I strive to make sure my students know that I care about them as a whole person, not just a student, and that I understand that life can make school harder.
