I was born and raised in Southwest Michigan and graduated from Western Michigan University with a Bachelor of Science/Elementary Education degree with an emphasis in Early Childhood education. I moved to Plano, TX in 1996. I come from a family of educators and have wanted to be a teacher as far back as I can remember! I live in Murphy, TX with my husband, Rudy. I have two children, both graduates from Plano East Senior High. This is my 18th year in education. I have taught as a pre-k ESL teacher, kindergarten teacher and substitute teacher. This is my second year as a Dyslexia Support Teacher. I am split between two campuses, Sigler and Hightower. I am passionate about reading and look forward to helping students become confident, lifelong readers!
