I am a 3rd grade teacher at Shepard Elementary. This is my 4th year at Shepard and my 9th year teaching. I grew up in Paris, Tx where I took and taught dance, and worked in my father's body shop in the summers. I am a true jack of all trades. I received my Bachelors of Science in Social Studies from Chaminade University of Honolulu, HI where I lived for 4 years. I then went on to receive my Masters of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Phoenix.  I have 3 sons; Aydan(15), Kristian(11), and Keagan(11).  In my spare time I loves to bake and decorate cakes, and cross stick.  I have a dog named Rascal (A.K.A. Chunk-Chunk), and we just adopted a cat named Ivy (she is a Torbie- Tortoise and Tabby mix).
