I am so excited to begin my first year at Carlisle Elementary as a special education teacher working with the amazing coyote kiddos. Although this is my first year at Carlisle, this will be my fifth year an elementary special education teacher and I could not be more excited to have the opportunity to work with the third grade students and team!
Thanks to the wonderful Coyote staff, community and PISD support, I am very much looking forward to another meaningful and influential school year!
