I have been teaching for a total of 21 years in grades 1-4. The last 9 years have been here at Chisum where I taught 3^rd, 4^th, and 2^nd grade before moving into my current position of an interventionist. Through my years in education I have developed a passion and love for teaching reading. My main goal is to give students the confidence they need to reach their reading goals. 

I have been married for 19 years and have 3 beautiful daughters. We also have three dogs, two cats, a rabbit, and a bearded dragon. 

When I am not teaching or reading I enjoy shopping, gardening, and spending time with my family. I spend a lot of time at different sporting events supporting my daughters.
