About The Teacher

I am married and have two daughters that attend school in Round Rock ISD.  
My family and I enjoy going to the movies, reading and doing outdoor 
activities together.  I grew up in Oklahoma and love the Sooners!  My 
husband and older daughter really love the Longhorns, so it's always a 
shouting match at our house during football season.
I started my teaching career in Copperas Cove, Texas in 1986, then moved to 
Killeen.  I have taught Kindergarten, First, Fourth, and Fifth grades since 
the beginning of my teaching career. In 1999, while teaching in Tyler, Texas, 
I was certified in Reading Recovery and began teaching students that were 
having difficulties in reading.  I have also been certified in the Wilson 
Reading System which is what I teach to our students with dyslexic 
characteristics.  I am looking forward to a great year!
