Welcome to Watkins Elementary! This school is an amazing place for students, parents, community members, teachers and staff to learn, grow, support each other and become the best WE each can be.  

I started teaching in January of 2001. During my time in education, I have been a 5th grade teacher in Plano ISD for six years, a 4th grade teacher in Wylie ISD for six years, worked as the Wylie ISD Educator Quality Coordinator for one year and spent five years as an Assistant Principal at Cox Elementary before being chosen to lead the Wally Watkins Wranglers this year.  

I believe that learning is the foundation on which the rest of a child's life will be built.  However, learning cannot truly happen if there is not a positive relationship built between the student and teacher.  Wherever the students go or whatever they choose to be when they grow up, they will have to love others and love to learn.  If they can do these things, then my job is complete.

My husband and I live in Wylie with our two sons that also attend Wylie schools.  We are active members of First Baptist Wylie. We have 3 beagles at home that round out our family. We love the Texas Rangers, being outdoors and being part of such a wonderful community and school district.
