I was born in the big state of Texas on July 16. I went to school at Edwin J. Kiest Elementary, W. H. Gaston Jr. High and graduated from Bryan Adams High School.
I moved to the great state of Oregon in 1990
where I lived for eight years, loving every minute of it. I went to school at Chemeketa Community College where I earned my Associate of Arts Degree. I then
moved to LaGrande, Oregon where
I went to school at
Eastern Oregon University
earning my Bachelor of Arts degree
in Multidisciplinary Studies. I have a degree
in English, and Bilingual Education, but my certification in education came from
Texas Women's University.
My certification is K-8.
I began my teaching career in Plano at Harrington Elementary School where I taught 5th grade for seven years, 4th grade for one year, then moved to WylieISD. This is my fifth year teaching in Wylie, and I’m still at Davis Intermediate. My first year I taught 5th grade Language and Social Studies, then moved rooms and taught 5th grade Advanced Math and Science, and changed rooms again where I taught 6th grade science and social studies, and moved back to fifth grade and taught science, and moved again this year, and now I'll be teaching 6th grade science and math! I think it's become a tradition that I move rooms every year!! I love it!! I can't wait to start the new school year!!
My long term goal is to teach seventh grade, eventually
retiring from the seventh grade in the great state of Oregon. GO DUCKS!
