About Me

Hi there!

I am so excited to start 2020-2021 school year at Aragon! This is my EIGHTH year at Aragon Middle School, and I am teaching 8th grade Language Arts.

I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a degree in Psychology. I am fascinated by human behavior, especially the adolescent mind. I am a dedicated life-long learner, and I enjoy continuing my education. I love children, and I feel it is my calling to try and make a difference in someone's life. I feel public education is the perfect place!

I am a product of Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District. I attended Matzke Elementary, Bleyl Middle School, and Cypress Creek High School. I am also a second generation teacher- my mother is also teaches in the district. I look forward to hearing from you and gladly welcome the opportunity to discuss the exciting ways in which I can be a significant asset to you (or your child’s) success!

In my spare time, I am all about my family. My husband and I have a beautiful toddler (2.5 years old) that keeps us on our feet, and I am currently pregnant with baby #2- a boy due in January! My life motto: born to read, forced to work. I am a huge dog- lover, my dogs, Rex, Pocket, and Pancake! Rex is an old, overweight, and overly-emotional mutt I rescued many years ago when I was in the 8th grade (yes, you read that correctly!) So he is almost 19 years old! Pocket and Pancake are Pomeranians. These girls are super energetic and love to chew on shoes and pens. Rex hates everyone, but Pancake loves Rex. Pocket is obsessed with me and rarely leaves my side. Pocket loves Rex, but the feeling is definitely not mutual. I also love the pool and summer in general. I love to be outside and be active. I have a weakness for education, dogs, shopping, chocolate and love stories. I really enjoy traveling.

This summer I stayed local with my daughter while my husband went to work everyday. Lots of outside time, arts and crafts and playing with out dogs! We also tried to stay cool in the pool. I read a few books and can't wait to read some more!
