Welcome! I am so excited for the upcoming school year.  I began my teaching career in 1997 in Houston ISD after graduating from The University of Houston-Downtown.  I have taught grades 4-8 in various positions in many schools, districts, and states. 

     My family moved quite a bit due to my husband's former career and this opened many teaching opportunities for me.  I have been an English as a Second Language Specialist and an English as a Second Language Interventionist where I had the privilege to help students who are learning English while learning the content within the classroom.  

      I feel very blessed to be here in Waller.  It was a goal of mine for a long time.  I am overjoyed to be working in Waller ISD and to be able to serve the community.

     I love teaching!  I love it when students make connections within learning and realize just how smart they are and what they have the power to do.  There is a great knowledge that comes from reading and writing each day.  I am looking forward to creating lessons and working with students  to help them develop these skills. 

     If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.  I firmly believe that student learning is most successful when we all work together!  Go Bulldogs!
