I graduated from Texas State University, previously known as Southwest Texas State University back in 2001 with a Bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. This is my 22nd year teaching. I taught 1 year in 2nd grade, 8 years in 3rd grade, and this is my 11 years in 4th grade, and this is my second consecutive year in 3rd grade again, which I love. I have a wonderful husband and an absolutely fabulous 13 year old son who is currently going into 8th grade at Manor New Tech Middle School. I am very family-oriented so spending time with my family is my absolute favorite thing to do. I also have a beautiful dog named Belle whom we also consider family. In my spare time, I enjoy exercising, traveling, and just doing anything that involves spending time with my family.
