I love teaching and believe it is my calling! I have been teaching for 23 years and have a Master’s in Education Leadership and Administration. I teach English Language Arts (ELAR) and World Cultures, and my passion is reading. I am excited to teach 6th grade and watch my students grow into independent learners throughout the year. I live in Celina, Texas with my husband (also a teacher), and Shih Tzu. My son is married to a SPED teacher and I have one grandson. I have two daughters- one is married and lives in Oregon and the other is a student at Oklahoma Wesleyan University. I am thrilled to be a Vaughan Viking!
