After completing my Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Baylor University, I started my teaching career with the Lubbock Independent School District in 1984 as a second grade teacher. I taught there nine years before moving to Allen. My family and I moved to Allen in 1993. Since that time I've taught fifth grade at Vaughan Elementary, worked as an Instructional Designer at Vaughan and Allen High School before becoming the Library Media Specialist at Kerr Elementary in 2000. I have been the Library Media Specialist for Chandler Elementary since it opened in 2005.
My husband and I have two wonderful young adult children. Our son graduated from Oklahoma State University in December of 2010 with a degree in Sports Management and Marketing. He is attending the University of Central Florida to get his masters in Sports Management and MBA. He will earn this degree in December 2012. Our daughter is a senior at Baylor University majoring in Deaf Education and working on her American Sign Language Certification. She will spend her senior year in Austin doing an internship at the Texas School for the Deaf and Round Rock ISD. Since our children are no longer at home, we enjoy the company of my Mom and our dog Sparky.
My hobbies are music, spending time with family and friends and reading. I love working in the library at Chandler Elementary!
