This is my 19th year of teaching.  All 19 years have been here at Marion Elementary. I have taught both Kinder and 2nd grade. I am currently the ESL teacher. 

I grew up in Longview, TX and graduated from Pine Tree High School.  My parents were both in education for over 30 years and are wonderful role-models. I have one brother, Jeff who is 3½ years older than me.

I attended Stephen F. Austin State University, where I received my Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I am also a Certified Academic Language Therapist (Dyslexia Therapist).
