Welcome to my page! I am thrilled to be at Cheatham Elementary as an EL Facilitator. I have over 20 years teaching experience in Texas, and 15 of those have been with Allen ISD.  I have served as a classroom teacher of many elementary grade levels and as an EL Facilitator. Teaching language is my passion and I am motivated by helping students learn new things, especially in the areas of speaking, reading and writing. 

My family is my pride and joy. My husband and I have 2 talented daughters. Hannah graduated from Allen High School in 2019 and is currently attending Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona, Florida. Grace graduated from AHS in 2020, and has enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps. We have lived in Allen for over 20 years, and are native Texans. We enjoy traveling, home improvement, music, and watching movies. We especially enjoy beachside areas and have visited many along the U.S. Gulf Coast, and have ventured to places like Cozumel, Cancun, and the Cayman Islands. 

I look forward to working with our wonderful Cheatham students and their families! I love our campus diversity! Please contact me if you have any questions.
