About The Teacher


I am so excited to be your teacher this year!  I am looking forward to a 
fun year full of learning.  This is my fourth year at Cactus Ranch and 
I have the pleasure of being both a teacher and a parent at the school.  
I have twelve years of teaching experience--9 years of experience in 
first grade, 2 years of experience teaching Reading Recovery, and I taught 
fifth grade one year.  I love working with first graders.  I enjoy the 
excitement the students bring with them and how much change and growth they 
experience throughout the year.  
This year my son, Tommy, will be attending Cactus Ranch as a fourth grader.  
My daughter, Savannah, will be attending Walsh Middle School as a 8th 
grader. Both of them mean the world to me, so I understand and appreciate 
the important role of parents.
Please know that I am always available to you if you have any questions or 
concerns.  You may contact me at 424-8028 any time.  If I am not available, I 
will return your call as soon as I can.
