Howdy! I am so excited to be here! I have a BS in Elementary Education with a Kdg. Endorsement and a Reading minor from Texas A&M University and a Masters in Education from Lamar University!  
I have been teaching for over 36 years which has included Pre-k thru 2nd grade and I am certified to teach up to 8th grade. I am also certified Gifted and Talented, as well as ESL. My passion is literacy which includes reading, writing, language, speaking, and listening. I incorporate literacy throughout all subject areas and look forward to making your child’s learning fun and interesting at the same time!  As a teacher, I want to motivate my students to enjoy the learning process. I want them to be able to make real-life connections through reading and become critical thinkers as they grow in their learning. I am a Texas girl living in Michigan and I am also the proud mother of an Aggie lawyer, Brandon who is married to an Aggie lawyer, Lesley! They live in the DFW area. No grandchildren yet. In my free time, I like to make quilts, paint on wood, go camping with my sisters, and work on my flower beds. I love the color pink! Finally, I have 2 miniature schnauzers named Cooper and Sawyer! They are brothers and pretty silly! I can’t wait to meet your son or daughter. See you soon!
