I was born and raised in New England.  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 21 years. I started teaching at Mathews in 2000 in First Grade.  I taught first grade for 19 years. Now I am teaching second grade.

My family includes Coach Woodard, a son named Ben, and a daughter named Hailey.  Ben is 16 years old and a Junior at Plane East.  He plays soccer and football. Hailey is 19 and attends Brookhaven college where she plays soccer..   We also have a dog appropriately named Princess.  I absolutely love my job and could not imagine doing anything else.
