Welcome to my 4th grade page. I am the 4th grade team leader this year, having moved back up here from 3rd grade and I'm thrilled to be back in the  grade I began my career in 29 years ago.  I have my bachelors degree in Liberal Studies/Elementary Education, my masters degree in Reading Education, and my Doctor of Education degree in Educational Leadership: Teacher Education in Multicultural Societies. This will be my 13th year as a Jackson Jaguar and am thrilled to call Jackson home!

I am a native Texan and grew up not too far from where Jackson is located. I attended Richardson ISD schools up until 10th grade, at which point I attended Trinity Christian Academy in Addison. I then went out to California for college, and upon graduation from Biola University, I moved back home to be close to my family. My family is very important to me, so I try to spend as much time with them as I can. I enjoy watching my niece and nephew play sports (golf and baseball, respectively), and am so proud of my niece's golf accomplishments this last year as she won Freshman of the Year and Player of the Year in the Lone Star Athletic Conference, and the NCAA DII Freshman of the Year award. She plays for Dallas Baptist University, and I'm looking forward to watching her in the local tournaments this year. My nephew plays baseball for Frisco High School and the Dulin's Dodgers Prime team. The Dodgers team is fresh off their Perfect Game World Series win, where they set a PG record in allowing zero runs across the 9 games in the tournament.  In my spare time, I enjoy crafting, reading, and traveling, and playing with my miniature Schnauzer named Winston.
