I am thrilled to be a returning to  the Lindsey Elementary staff for the 2018-2019 school year. I am originally from the great state of Ohio where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Cincinnati. I consider myself a Bearcat, but I am an even bigger Buckeye fan. Since living in Texas, I have taught Fourth grade as well as Special Education in both the Co-teach and Resource settings. 

I have been married to my High School Sweetheart for 27 years and we have four children. Abbey is married and works as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse in Ft. Worth, and is the mother of our first grandbaby, Maddie Rae.  Aaron is starting his Sophomore  year at Texas A&M majoring in Engineering, and Andy is a Junior in high school who loves anything sports. Annagrace rounds out the family and is in fourth grade and loves to talk! In addition, we have a one year old Chocolate Lab puppy, Weston,  who keeps us running and throwing toys. I enjoy spending time with my family, and we can often be found at sporting events or taking vacations to the beach. 

I am looking forward to getting to know each of my 4th-6th grade students and encouraging them in their academic journey.
