I am so excited about my fourth year with the Cheatham family!! Here a few facts about me:

* My last name is pronounced like the word FATE.

* I am a native Texan.

* I taught music in Garland ISD for 13 years before joining Cheatham.

* I am married to a sweet guy, Chris, and have two kids Natalie, and Ryan and a kitten named Jaxx.

* I received my bachelor's degree from THE University of North Texas.

* I enjoy spending time with friends and family, as well as running, tennis, singing, crafts and watching sports.

* I'm pretty sure I'd be an analyst or commentator for ESPN if I weren't teaching music.

* I love chocolate, Starbucks, mexican food, pedicures and watching movies!

* I absolutely adore kids, and being involved in their growth is an honor and joy!
