Chisholm Trail MS

I am excited to say that this is my 23 year teaching!  I have been at Chisholm Trail MS for 8 years! Chisholm Trail is a SPECIAL place to be!  While I am currently an Emergent Bilingual Specialist , I have taught all grade levels. Middle school is by far my favorite because of the unpredictable nature of every day!  Middle school keeps me on my toes! 

I support my campus in coaching Cougar Cheer for my 7th year!  GOOOO COUGS!

I support my campus in utilizing AVID Reading and study strategies on a daily basis and commit to continuing my own education.

I support my campus by sponsoring the student-driven Minecraft Club!

Professional Beliefs

I believe...

• all students should be held to high expectations

• all students can and will be successful!  

• all students  should have access to an adult at school that they can rely on!  

• in equity of all stakeholders in our community and help to identify and provide pathways for all students and families on campus..

Education and Training

I graduated from University of Texas of the Permian Basin in 2000 with a BA in History and minor in English.  I found that a small school met my needs the best for success!

I specialize in working with ESL students with a focus on newcomers to the country and reading intervention for all students. 

I continue my education and reflective teaching in an ongoing process.  I am constantly working to better my craft, reflect on my experiences, and find ways to improve my contribution to our campus and our students.

I work with district committees in Curriculum Writing and Culturally Responsive Curriculum and Teaching.

I am the the ESL/LPAC Dept. Chair.
