Educational Background and Experience: I graduated from Texas State University with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies.  I am certified to teach early childhood through fourth grade.  My education experience includes teaching third grade and fourth grade for over ten years. Currently, I teach language arts, social studies, and science. However, my experience includes teaching all elementary subjects. 

Message for Parents: Thank you for allowing your child to be a part of our learning community. My goal each year is to help all of my students experience maximum growth and success as they gain new knowledge and skills. I am looking forward to partnering with you during this phase of your child's educational journey. Please feel free to contact me with any important information or questions.
