I am so excited to be a Carlisle Coyote! This is my second year teaching 3rd grade. I have also taught Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades. Previous to that I taught High school for 7 years in Los angeles, California.
I was born in Ethiopia and raised all over Africa. I have lived in the US for over 25 years - Oregon, California and now Texas. I got my Bachelors degree from Concordia University in Oregon. I later got my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from University of North Texas.
I have two wonderful sons, Michael who is 12 years old and Benjamin who is 10 years old. We also have a 9 year old fur baby, Cali. In our free time we like to travel and spend time outdoors. I'm an avid reader and also like to garden.
