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 25th 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 second year in 1st grade!  It's going to be a great year!

 I live in Plano with my husband, Derek and our two children.  My daughter, Madison will be starting her freshman year at Clark High School.  She is a Cougarette. My son, Michael is a 8th grader at Schimelpfennig.  He plays football.

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