I am so excite to be here teaching 5th grade reading and writing at Oak Crest Elementary. I have been teaching since 2000 and have taught at both the elemnetary and junior high level. I attended Park University while I was active duty in the Marine Corps, and I got my bachelors degree there in social psychology. When I got out of the military,  I moved to Houston and got my masters degree at the University of Houston in curriculum and instruction and elementary education. 

 I have been living in the Sutherland Springs area for the past 18 years. My husband Chris and I have 3 awesome children. Jacob is 23 and serving in the Navy, Lori is 22 and attending school at Alvin Community College, and Callye is 21 and attending school at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. We have two dogs, a cat, , and 5 chickens. We love going fishing, being outdoors, gardening, and taking care of all of our pets. 

I look forward to a great year! 

Go Stingers!
