Hello!

I am so excited to begin my eighth year of teaching! I graduated from the University of North Texas in December 2017 with a degree in elementary education. I have a passion for teaching, and I am excited to spend this year building relationships with my students. I love watching students learning from their mistakes and trying new things!

I married my husband, Will, in December 2017. We have a one year old daughter, Madeline, who keeps our lives busy! We also live with our two cats, Henry and Lady Jane. I fully embrace being a crazy cat mom! In my free time I like to read, spend time with family, watch movies, and play board games.

I will be team teaching with Ms. Johnston and Ms. Passons this year. I will be teaching math, Ms. Johnston will be teaching reading and writing, and Ms. Passons will be teaching science.

I am so excited to spend this year in fifth grade at Blanton, I am confident that we are going to have an amazing time together!
