(6th Grade 2026-2027)
Hey 8th grade fam! I love being a part of the amazing WRMS community! I am a long time Austin resident and come from a large Italian family. I completed my BS in Applied Learning and Development at UT Austin in 2003, and I began my career in education as a first grade teacher in Killeen. When I moved home to Austin, I joined the 4th grade team as a teacher at Eanes Elementary, where I spent 7 amazing years. While teaching, I stayed very busy completing my master's degree in Counselor Education at The University of Texas at Austin, graduating in 2015 (Hook 'em Horns!). I have two children that both attended EISD schools K-12. My daughter is in the military, and my son is in college. When I have a free moment, I love to see movies at Alamo Drafthouse, hear live music, travel, and hang with my family. This marks my 11th year as a West Ridge Wildcat- time sure flies when you're having fun!! I can't wait to meet you!
Hi everyone! My name is Ms. Sharp, and I am the new school-based therapist here at West Ridge Middle School. I grew up in a small town in northeast Texas and went to UT Austin for undergrad, where I studied psychology. From there, I moved to Boston, Massachusetts, and earned my master’s degree in social work. I worked as a therapist at a residential program for teen mothers experiencing homelessness for two years and loved it! I recently decided to move back to Texas to be closer to friends and family, and I am so happy to be back in Austin! I enjoy dancing, watching movies, and spending time with the important people in my life. I look forward to getting to know you all and to being a part of this wonderful community!
