          Welcome to ESL!

      I received my BA in Modern Languages from Mississippi College and my MA in Teaching Languages from the University of Southern Mississippi.  I have been an educator for over 20 years, and this is my 17th year with Allen ISD.  In addition to K-8 ESL, I've taught everything from 3rd-5th Latin and modern languages, 6th grade (all subjects), 7th-8th English, English I and II EOC remediation, university-level courses, and adult community education.  I enjoy helping students gain the confidence and English proficiency they need in order to be successful in school and in life.  I also love working with parents and teachers to support them in setting their students up for success.
