Professional History: I'm Miss Smith and I am beyond excited to join the first-grade team this year. This is my second year in education and my first year teaching first grade. I attended Texas Tech University (wreck'em) where I received my bachelor's in psychology. After graduation, I was accepted to Texas A&M University in Corpus Christi where I got my master's degree in professional counseling. I absolutely love working with children and found that education is where I was meant to be. Teaching children and making memorable learning experiences that impact their lives is the most rewarding feeling. 

Family: My partner Michael and I have been together for 12 years and recently got engaged last year. We have two fur babies, Oakley our sweet Golden Retriever, and Roxy our sassy Shephard mix. 

Interests/Hobbies Outside of School: I enjoy traveling, going to concerts, and spending time with friends and family. I love a good DIY project and styling thrifted/vintage clothes.
