I was born and raised in New England. I love and miss the snow.  These Texas Summers are much different.  After I graduated college in 1991 with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Psychology I moved to the DFW area.  I have been here ever since.  I am married to our very own Coach Woodard. We have been married for almost 22 years. I started teaching at Mathews in 2000 in First Grade.  I taught first grade for 19 years. This is my 2nd year teaching 2nd grade at Mathews and I love it!

My family includes Coach Woodard, a son named Ben, and a daughter named Hailey.  Ben is 17 years old and a senior at Plane East.  He plays soccer and football. Hailey is 20 and attends Austin College where she plays soccer and is pursuing a teaching career.   We also have a puppy, named Chance.  I absolutely love my job and could not imagine doing anything else.
