I am very excited to return as the instructional coach at CC Mason Elementary for the 2022-2023 school year!

Originally from a small rural town in Illinois, I moved to Texas in 1989 for my first teaching job in the Houston area. I have worked in Aldine ISD, Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, and one year in Lake Travis ISD before arriving at Leander. This is my 22nd year in Leander ISD and 33 years in education.

During my teaching career, I have piloted an ESL program and taught Grades Pre-1st through 4th grade in all subject areas as well as physical education.

Previous to my current position, I was an instructional technology facilitator for various Leander Elementary campuses working with teachers to help integrate their curriculum with technology.

I enjoy spending time with my family, boating, reading, kayaking, and doing anything to be outside!

My husband and I have a son that recently graduated from The University of Texas in Austin and a daughter that is a Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

Our family also has a rescued kitten and terrier mix, a dachshund, and a German Shepherd/Rottweiler that "followed" our daughter home.

I look forward to a great year!
