I attended California State Universitywhere I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Human Development with a concentration in Child Development.

This will be my 19th year to teach. I have taught: Pre-school, Grades: 2, 3, 4, Dysleixia, GT, ESL, Intervention, Adult Education Classes & GED classes.

This will be my 8^th year at Harts Bluff.

I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Human Development and a concentration in Child Development.

I received my teaching certification from LeTourneau University and am certified EC-4, Special Education EC-12 and English as a Second Language EC-12.

This summer, I was 1 of 198 teachers across Texas choosen among 5,500 applicants to participae in TEA’a Techer Institute. This was  a week long institute in Austin where I was able to help give input on some new idea that TEA will be offerring to schools soon.  I have also been in many other professional trainings to keep up-to-date on the latest topics and trends in math, reading, science, ESL, GT & Dyslexia.

This will be my eighth year to teach here at Harts Bluff.

I will be  teaching 2^nd grade again and I am so excited!

Prior to teaching at Harts Bluff, I taught in California as well as other districts within Titus County.

I love teaching and am excited for the new year!

I am originally from California and moved to Texas 21 years ago.  Mt. Pleasant has many friendly people and is close to small towns with a lot of unique boutiques to explore (I like shopping!)

When I'm not teaching, I am usually watching my children in their activities, or taking a road trip. I enjoy finding new and fun places to explore and eat. I love baseball & enjoy watching the Texas Rangers and California Angels, as well as the Boston Red Sox.

The beach is my favorite place and I enjoy the beauty of mountains. California has both and I'm fortunate to visit them when I visit my brother, who still lives in California. I also visit the east coast beaches since I have friends there & the north, where my sister lives.

This Summer, we will traveled to Hawaii; South Texas, Memphis (TN), Minnesota, Chicago (IL), Nevada, and Arizona.
