Hi I'm Ms. Taaffe and I am thrilled to be teaching 4th grade at Eanes Elementary this year! 

I was born and raised right here in Austin and actually grew up in Eanes ISD. I went to Bridge Point Elementary, Hill Country Middle School, and Westlake High School.  I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2023 with my degree in Applied Learning Development Early Childhood-6th Grade ESL. This is my second year teaching 4th grade and  I am so excited to be back in the Eanes community.

I am the third of four children in my family and my childhood days were spent running around the Westlake community with my three brothers. 

When I'm not at school, I'm walking around the Townlake trail, going to sporting events, watching live music, or spending time with my friends and family. Needless to say, I am a HUGE Texas Longhorn fan, so every Saturday you can find me at DKR cheering on the horns. I love watching all kinds of sports and spending time outdoors, even in this Texas heat! 

I feel so blessed to be teaching your kids and I'm looking forward to an amazing year!
