Hello! I have been a counselor at Tippit Middle School since 2015 and am so proud to work at a school named for my former teacher. James Tippit was my 9th grade Biology teacher! After graduating from Georgetown High School and The University of Texas, I began my career in education teaching Language Arts at Bastrop Middle School and coaching tennis at Bastrop High School. After my return to Georgetown, I taught English at Georgetown High School and started the PAL (Peer Assistance and Leadership) program. I have since taught at the Learning Tree Preschool and several elementary schools in Georgetown. I am married and have 3 adult children, all graduates of Georgetown High School. I enjoy exercising, hiking around Lake Georgetown with my dog, traveling and spending time with my family and grandchildren.
