About Me:
This is my fifth year in Argyle ISD and my 25th year teaching. My husband, Robb, and I live in Trophy Club with our mischievous black lab, Scout. We have two adult children, Emily and Shawn, and two beautiful grandaughters. I love to travel, hike, read, and bake. ELAR and history were my favorite subjects in school, but as an adult I have discovered a love for math.
I am an ELAR resource teacher and a co-teacher with Ms. Pape, and Ms. Stoner. I am excited to learn and grow along with the students in my classes. If you have any questions, the best way to reach me is through my email.
I am so excited to be at the 6th Grade Center and to meet all the new 6th graders!
