I am excited to start my fifth year in fourth grade.
I graduated from the University of California at Irvine with a BA in Social Science. I received my teaching credential from National University. I've taught most grades K-5 in my career as an educator in Texas and California. I am ESL certified, GT trained, and a life-long learner.
I love what I do and I feel truly blessed to make a difference in the lives of children. Each day we will work together in a safe, respectful, and positive learning environment. As a community of learners, we will encourage each other through failure (yes, failure!) and celebrate each other's success. We are a team.
I couldn't be a life changer without the support of my fabulous family. My husband is my rock! This December, we will be celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary. Together, we have two beautiful, smart, funny, talented children. Our daughter graduated from The University of Alabama Honors College in 2016 and works as an engineer in Austin. Our son is a freshman at The University of Arkansas. For the first time in 26 years, we are empty nesters.
Thank you for sharing your kids with me. We are going to have a fabulous year!
