I am so excited to be a 3rd grade teacher at Hightower Elementary! I transferred to Hightower for the 2023-2024 school year from another PISD school in order to be closer to my home in Plano. This will be my 14th year of teaching experience, and I can't wait to meet my new incoming 3rd graders! I have a son who is 33 years old and lives with his wife in Houston. My daughter is 31 years old and was recently married in April 2023. My family wouldn't be complete without my two cats, Tux and Zoe. In my time away from school, I enjoy being with family, reading, working out and staying healthy, movies, and doing fun activities with long time friends. My passion is teaching and watching my students grow academically, socially, and emotionally throughout the school year. I love what I do and I look forward to working with you and your child this year!
