Mrs. Martin is so excited to be teaching at Hughston Elementary this year! This is her 16^th year teaching in Plano ISD. She grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois, but prefers the heat over the snow, so she moved to Texas in 2007. She graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education from Northeastern Illinois University in 2007 and received her Master’s Degree in Teacher Leadership from Lamar University in 2015.  She and her husband, Rich, have two awesome children, Dominic (5) and Liliana (3).  She also has a dog named Jack.  In her free time, she enjoys going for walks with her family, reading, and shopping.  She is looking forward to a fun year of getting to know her fourth graders!
