A Little About Me
I attended Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas and graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Child Study and Language Development.
I began my teaching career in Garland I.S.D., teaching fifth grade and also third grade. After transferring to Allen I.S.D., I taught at Norton Elementary and then helped open Kerr Elementary in 2000. Next, it was so exciting to be part of Cheatham Elementary's grand opening in 2010! It's been a blast so far, and I'm looking forward to another fantastic year!
I got married to Jeff Kirkland in November 2018 and love spending time with him, my 18-year-old step son Collin, and our sweet and playful dog Rocky. Besides teaching, I always look forward to reading, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
