About The Teacher

I am one of the few to be born and raised in Austin, Texas.  I graduated 
from Texas State University (formerly known as Southwest Texas) with a 
bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and a specialization in Early 
Childhood. In addition, I have a certification in ESL (English as a Second 
Language).  My student teaching was completed at Fern Bluff Elementary and 
luckily I was hired!  This will be my eleventh year to teach and fortunately 
enough, I have taught all eleven years in kindergarten at Fern Bluff.  

I am married to the love of my life, Tim, who is an Austin firefighter.  We 
have a sweet little girl, Kallie, born April 25, 2008.  We are loving every 
minute with her as parents.  We're also blessed to be expecting another 
little girl in March.  I love to read and do yoga/pilates, and thanks 
to my outdoor loving husband, I have learned to rock climb and love the 
outdoors too.
