Welcome Students and Parents! ! This is my 7th year at Frankford Middle School and 14th year as an Educator! I once achieved success in the corporate world, but came to realize our communities' most precious goods are our children! They are our FUTURE! Trust, patience, and understanding are at the heart of my holistic teaching philosophy. I believe in 3rd and 4th chances, and that all students have many strengths and pathways to learning. I hope to impress upon the Arts in Language Arts and the Fun in reading! Most importantly, I believe in our students and promise to empower them to believe in themselves, their capabilities, and their dreams - The lifelong learners and successful citizens they deserve to become, open to a world of possibilities!

I'm a native Texan, a UT-Dallas Alumna and a proud Frankford Falcon who embraces our diverse student body and faculty. Along with teaching, I enjoy the company of my husband, Mr. Edel, our family and friends, and especially our pet parrotlet, Cosmo. I taught Cosmo how to say, "I Love You!", and I actually believe he does! I also enjoy all creatures great and small, the outdoors, dining-out, music, theatre, and le cinéma.

I'm looking forward to another engaging year of learning with our students!

   MY WHY?                            

 I serve to inspire and empower our students to find their unique voice, talents and potential, so they flourish into their best selves; successful creaters, thrivers, and achievers, no matter their circumstances!
