Dyslexia Specialist

Family

My husband and I have three wonderful children, a Rhodesian Ridgeback named Murphy and three cats, Pickles, Kevin and Emmie. Our oldest son, Nicholas, is married to his lovely wife, Celeste, and lives in Manvel with their two dogs and several chickens. We love having them so close to us, so we can pop in on them at any time...LOL!! In August, we traveled to WA to see our beautiful daughter, Jena and her finance, Kyle married on Mt. Baker. It was an absolutely breathtaking location to start their new adventure. We are so excited for Kyle to join our growing family! Our youngest, Will, is in 9th grade and is so ready to start high school. He is extremely social and keeps us quite busy with all of his sports and extracurricular activities! I love to spend time with my family doing any type of outdoor activity or sport, but we definitely enjoy being on the water or around it with this terrible Texas heat. I am truly blessed to have a wonderful husband, adorable intelligent children and a career I wholheartedly love.

This is going an amazing year!

Education

I am currently in my 20th year of teaching with Alvin ISD. I taught 1st grade for 7 years, Advanced Academics for 11 years and am now in my 2nd full year as a Dyslexia Specialist at Walt Disney Elementary. I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Child Psychology from Morningside College in Sioux City, IA. and have furthered my educational training by attending the Neuhaus Education Center for dyslexia. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to work with dyslexic students and help them gain the confidence and skills to be lifelong learners.
