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 28th year as an educator and my 12th 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 so proud of my niece's golf accomplishments this last year as her DBU Women's Golf program won the NCAA D2 National Championship this spring, and Jordan also qualified for and played in the 121st USGA Women's Amateur Championship in Rye, NY, this August. My nephew was a starting freshman on the Frisco High baseball team last year, and will continue playing for both Frisco High and the Dulin's Dodgers Major Prime team this year.  In my spare time, I enjoy crafting, reading, and traveling, and playing with my new puppy, a miniature Schnauzer named Winston.
