Welcome! I am so excited to be a member of the Preston Pride and the EL Facilitator for Preston Elementary!

 I am starting my 22nd year of teaching. I have taught 1st grade & ESL. I also taught a study skills course at Collin College for three years. I graduated from Texas A&M University for my undergraduate degree. I earned a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership and completed my Certification in Administration.  

I am married to Brady and have two sons; Zach is 21 and Trevor is 12. Brady works in Dallas for Reach Media as VP of the IT department. Trevor will attend 6th grade this year as a fellow member of the Preston Pride, and Zach will be a junior at Texas A&M University. We have a big Maine Coon cat named Ranger. We enjoy traveling and love to visit Colorado in the summer! Brady and I grew up in Tyler, Texas. My sister has a home on Lake Tyler, so we enjoy making memories at the lake when we can get away from the big city.

I look forward to a new year and building relationships with my students and their families!
