Hi! I am a native Texan, born in December, in Dallas, and have been in the metroplex ever since. When I was in third grade, we moved to The Colony and I attended Peters Colony Elementary. I had the opportunity to do my observation hours and student teaching here at PC while going to college. Then, when I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas Womans University in 1996, I began teaching here- my home away from home! I've taught fourth grade, first grade and this is my seventh year teaching second grade- what a great age! I am our campus Social Studies Advocate, Gradebook Mentor, and School Website Designer.

At home are my husband of 17 years, Johnny, our son Cody (10th grade) and our daughter Kady (3rd grade), along with our dogs, Penelope Belle (Nellie) and Dixie Lucille (Dixie). We like to go riding on our Harley FatBoy, go camping in our travel trailer, and take walks around our neighborhood pond and feed the ducks.

These are a few (a lot) of my favorite things:
