Welcome to 1st grade! I am so excited to get to know all my new firsties as well as their wonderful families! This will be a year like no other but it will be a fun and exciting and I know we will have a have ton of fun while we are busy learning.

This is my 8th year of teaching and I love calling CCE my home! I taught Kindergarten for 4 years and 1st grade for 4 years! I love early childhood and it's so exciting to see these young learners absorb all that school has to offer. I believe in team work between home and school and I look forward to working with each one of you to help 1st grade be successful for kiddo.

I grew up in Conroe, TX and attended Texas State University in San Marcos. My husband, Manny, and I lived in Seattle while he was finishing up his Navy career. We moved back to Texas and were lucky enough to get to call Austin our new home. My husband is an educator as well, teaching writing at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. We have two amazing kiddos of our own. My 8 year old son, Brady, is a 2nd grader. My daughter, Parker, is 4 and is in Kindergarten this year. We also have a 12 year old chihuahua named Mija.

What an exciting year we have ahead of us! First grade is such a cool year to watch your child continue to blossom in not only their academics but also socially!
