I grew up on Long Island, NY.  I attended Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York.  Right after graduation I moved to Texas and started my career in Arlington ISD, before becoming a Maverick.  I am starting my 24th year of teaching.  I have been at Mathews for 18 of those years.  Since at Mathews, I taught 4th, 5th and 10 years in 2nd.  I am so excited to be starting my first year in 1st grade!  It's going to be a great year!

 I live in Plano with my husband, Derek and our two children. Both of my children attend Schimelpfennig- my daughter, Madison is an 8th grader and my son, Michael is a 6th grader. 

 When I am not teaching, I enjoy coffee, reading, crafting, baking, and spending time with my family.
