Originally from Florissant, MO, I moved to Plano in 1987 and graduated from Plano Senior High. I attended both Texas Tech University and the University of North Texas, graduating from UNT in 1999 after the birth of my two older children. My son, Drew, is also a graduate of UNT; my daughter, Miranda, is a graduate of Texas A&M University, and my youngest, Kinsley, is in 5th grade. The 2022-2023 school year will be my 19th year teaching English at Plano East. I love to travel and I'm an absolute Disney superfan!
