I am excited to be a part of 2nd grade at Martin Elementary. This will be my sixth year teaching in public education, and my third year teaching 2nd grade at Martin! 

Aside from previously teaching 2nd and 3rd grade Dual Language, I also spent years teaching in the preschool world. I love children of all ages and enjoy making school a positive experience for them. We moved to Celina eight years ago and feel grateful to call this town our home. 

I have been married for 15 years to my science teacher/wrestling coach husband. We have 2 sons and 1 daughter who will be in 7th, 5th, and 2nd grade. When I'm not driving my kids around to their activities, I enjoy being outside, listening to music and podcasts,  and playing with our 2 year old pug named Turbo 🐶. We love to vacation to the beach or mountains, but most of all we just enjoy being at home together. 

I look forward to meeting my new class of Bobcats soon! I know we will have a great year together!

Class Information

Dress: Please send your child in TENNIS SHOES/SNEAKERS every day (with the exception of picture day). They will be participating in various activities throughout the day and want to ensure they have safe footwear!

Snacks: Students may bring a healthy snack and labeled water bottle with a flip-top lid each day. Please no screw-top bottles as these tend to spill. Only WATER is allowed in the classroom. Examples of appropriate snacks are Cheez-its, goldfish, granola bars, and pretzels.  Please avoid sending snacks that require utensils to eat. 

Sometimes we don’t have time to pack a snack at home, we forget it, or we are still hungry after we finish our snack. We have a long time from breakfast to lunch and to end of our day... I want to make sure every kiddo has a full tummy! Please use the Amazon link above if you would like to donate snacks. Thank you for your support!

Birthdays: We would love to celebrate your child on their special day! You may drop off a labeled, store bought treat in the office. Cookies and cupcakes are great options. Please check with me on class size and possible allergies beforehand. 

Homework: Homework will not be sent home at this time.  You can help support your child at home by reading together each night, strengthening their math fact fluency with flashcards, playing games with dice and numbers (shut the box, farkle, cards), or any CISD approved websites linked on my Clever page.

Breakfast & Lunch: Create an account at  SchoolCafe.com/CELINAISD to add funds to your child's lunch account.

Parents/Guardians: Complete the Volunteer Background Check. You will need this completed to attend our field trip and to volunteer at school.
