Introduction

I love to teach!  Teaching has been a passion of mine for many years.  

In my opinion, it is the best job in the world!  This will be my 20th year in this wonderful profession.  

One of my favorite childhood memories is 

playing "school" with the other children in my neighborhood.  I believe that all 

children can learn when given the opportunity and tools to help them be successful.  I am honored to be a 

positive influence on young lives.  It is important to me that all of my students have a happy experience during their first 

few years of school.  It is challenging and we cover a lot of information while 

building the foundation of the future for these smiling faces.  I look forward to each new school year!

All little about me....

My favorite color is purple.

My favorite author is Dr. Seuss.

My favorite beverages are sweet tea and cold flavored coffees from Starbucks.

My favorite artist is George Strait, the King of Country Music.

My favorite travel spot is Nashville. (I have been 14 times.)

My favorite places to eat are Texas Roadhouse and Chick-fil-A.

My favorite places to shop are Walmart, Target, Amazon, and Dollar Tree.

and other famous people, photography, and crafting,.
