I teach English Language Arts classes with a focus on reading comprehension, creative writing, and test preparation. My classes are designed to help students of all ages develop a love for literature, enhance their writing skills, and build confidence in their ability to succeed on standardized tests.

 am a Texas certified teacher with over 15 years of experience in the classroom. My certifications include Generalist EC-6, ESL EC-12, Reading Specialist EC-12, and Physical Education EC-12. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology & Pedagogy from Houston Baptist University and my Master of Education with a specialization in Reading from Stephen F. Austin State University.

I am committed to helping students not only master the content but also develop a lifelong love for learning.

When I’m not teaching, I love spending time in my garden, where my husband and I grow a variety of plants and flowers. I’m also an avid bird watcher and enjoy sharing tips on attracting different bird species to your backyard. I also love to crochet and love sharing this craft with others. I even teach crochet classes, where students can learn to create beautiful handmade items. Lastly, I’m a huge fan of fantasy literature and enjoy discussing books and stories with fellow enthusiasts.
