I am a third grade Reading, Writing, and Social Studies teacher at George W. Bush Elementary in Wylie I.S.D. This is my fourteenth year of teaching with leadership roles as the Reading PLC Leader and campus Curriculum Leadership Team advisor. I started my teaching career in Garland I.S.D. where I taught both kindergarten and third grade for a total of eight years. Today I am in the process of getting my M.Ed. in Reading from Texas A&M University-Commerce. However, I will always be an Aggie who bleeds maroon. I am married to my husband, Doug. We have two teenage boys, Austin and Caden. We live in Sachse, Tx with our pig, dog, and cat....in a golf course community (not a farm).
