Welcome to my 3rd grade page. I am the 3rd grade team leader and have been teaching for 26 years. 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 11th year at Jackson and I truly love being a Jackson Jaguar!

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 proud to announce that my niece will be a freshman on the women's golf team at Dallas Baptist University this fall--they're currently ranked number 3 in the nation for NCAA Division II. In my spare time, I enjoy crafting, reading, and traveling.
