I was born and raised in Plano, Texas. My parents and brother still live in the Dallas area. I have a Yellow Labrador Retriever named Maddie. I attended The University of North Texas where I earned a degree in early childhood through fourth grade.

This is my 20th year teaching at Barksdale. I taught second grade for nine years and this will be my 11th year teaching Kindergarten. I am looking forward to teaching kindergarten because we have so much fun reading, writing, working with numbers and being KIDS!
