I began my teaching career in The Colony, where I taught fifth grade, before moving to Flower Mound for a second grade teaching position. From there, I was asked to be the Gifted/Talented teacher for Wellington Elementary. It was a fun change to be able to teach all grade levels from 1st-5th.
I spent a little while in Wimberley, Texas. I taught second grade at Scudder Primary School. What a beautiful place to be...nestled in the peaceful hill country!
I've had the privilege to teach various grade levels during my teaching career with Denton ISD. Those include 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 5th grade, Special Ed. , and now EXPO.
My husband, Brian, is from Wimberley, and we actually met on a blind date. Go figure! :) We are the proud parents of 6th and 8th Harpool Longhorns. and a 10th grade Guyer Wildcat. We are extremely blessed to have three precious angels (most of the time) to share our lives with!
We all live in Lantana with Kortana (cat), who is named after the Halo game, Khaleesi (dog), who got her name from the popular series "Game of Thrones", Kismet (cat), a spunky, curious little guy that keeps our other pets on their toes and will eat anything, and Kylo (dog), who loves all kinds of attention!
I have 3 younger sisters. Kelly lives in Dallas with her 3 children. We share a lot of important dates...
My niece's birthday is the same as my anniversary.
My son's birthday is the same as my sister's anniversary.
My nephew shares my birthday with me, August 9th.
My other nephew shares my mom's birthday.
My 2 youngest sisters both have careers of their own. Nikki is in sales in Colorado and Danni is a Graphic Designer in Germany.
The question I'm asked most is "Which grade level do I enjoy the most?" My answer is simple...I just love children and teaching. You can put me anywhere with those two components, and I'm happy! My goal for any class that I teach is to instill self-confidence, creativity, and a genuine love of learning. :o)
This will be my 20th year with Denton ISD, and I can honestly say that I am blessed to be a part of Lantana and Adkins Elementary. Let's go Aviators!
