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 6^th 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!
