I have been teaching at Mendenhall for 14 years.  I began my career in Special Education in Washington State and then taught 10 years in fifth grade in Wisconsin.   I earned an associate’s degree from Daytona Beach Community College, a bachelor’s degree at Central Washington University, and a master’s in Teaching and Learning at St. Mary’s University of Minnesota.  My husband, Trey, and I have a blended family of eight children and five grandchildren. We live in Wylie with our youngest, Marc.
