Hello Stinson Stars and Families!  I am thrilled to be starting my 27th year as an elementary educator (23 of those years at Stinson). I love being the ESL Coach/Interventionist at Stinson and helping children from other countries learn English. Before teaching ESL, I taught grades 2nd and 3rd at Stinson. I also taught in Dallas ISD and Waco ISD prior to coming to Plano ISD in 2000.  I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Speech Communications from Texas A&M University and a Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Texas A&M Commerce. I hold teaching certifications in Early Childhood - 6th Grade, ESL, and PACE.  When I'm not at school, I enjoy spending time with my two daughters, and my dogs named Angel and Rylie.  I also love to travel, read, go out to dinner with friends, and watch movies. Working at Stinson has been one of the most rewarding adventures of my life and I am honored to be teaching English to our Stinson ESL students once again. I'm looking forward to another exciting year with our Stinson Stars!
