I am so excited to be sharing my love for knowledge and learning in PACE here at Murphy Middle! 

I attended the University of Texas at Dallas graduating cum laude and became certified to teach Core Subjects in 4th - 8th grade. I am also certified in Health, English as a Second Language and am PACE trained. My first year as a teacher was at Boggess Elementary teaching 5th grade, which has led me here to my dream job of teaching middle school! This will be my fifth year teaching at MMS. I have taught both science and AVID in 6th and 7th grade prior to teaching PACE.

I am blessed not only to work at Murphy Middle, but also to live within the community. My husband Chris and I have been married for 22 years. Our sons, William & Jonathan, have attended Boggess, Murphy Middle, McMillen and Plano East. William attends the University of Oklahoma and Jonathan is a senior at Plano East. We are avid soccer fans! Both boys have played/currently play competitive soccer year round. So, if we are not on a field, we are watching soccer on tv, going to games, or reading about it. When not doing something soccer related, we love to travel and discover new places. The beach and Europe are our top places to go. Mr. Rooke being from England gives us the opportunity to travel abroad and a fierce love for the England National Team!

Please feel free to contact me at any time via email or phone. I am here for not only my students, but you as well. I look forward to a great, exciting year!
