I am the gifted specialist/PACE teacher at Hughston Elementary. I grew up in small town in southeast Texas and graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University with a bachelor's degree in interdisciplinary studies. I am state GT and ESL certified. This will be my 20th year in education and my 10th year teaching PACE. I enjoy music, shopping, trying new foods, and watching new movies and shows. I love coffee, Cherry Coke, Dr Pepper and all salty snacks. I enjoy having conversation and having discussion with students. I am honored to be your child's teacher!
