This is my eighth year to teach Language Arts at Grisham!
I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in May 2002 with a B.S.
in Applied Learning & Development. My minor was in English. Before attending
UT, I was a student at Kilgore Junior College where I was a member of the
Kilgore College Rangerettes.
I grew up in Texas and Long Island, New York. Because my family moved several
times, I actually attended four different elementary schools. In RRISD, I
attended Laurel Mountain Elementary, Canyon Vista Middle School and Westwood
High School.
I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, my husband (Clint), kitty
cat (Henry), and dog (Cassie). Clint is also an educator; he teaches 2nd
grade at Fern Bluff Elementary. I love computers, crossword puzzles, card
games (not poker), reading, writing, and knitting.
This past summer I attended the Heart of Texas Writing Project's Summer
Writing Institute at UT Austin. It was a wonderful month spent reading,
writing and talking with other Language Arts teachers about Writing Workshop.
I can't wait to implement everything I learned!
