About Ms. Gunnels
This will be my 4th year teaching, but my 9th year with Burkburnett ISD. During my time with BISD, I have worked as the Campus Registrar at I.C. Evans, a substitute teacher, and for the last three years taught 4th Grade RLA and Social Studies at Overton Ray.
I received a Bachelor of Applied Science in Justice Administration from Wayland Baptist University in 2019, and began my alternative teaching certification through iTeach Texas shortly thereafter. While I originally intended to work in juvenile probation, I truly fell in love with K-12 education as a substitute teacher.
Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or concerns.
