I am thrilled to be in Wylie ISD and am so blessed to be teaching at Watkins Elementary! This is my sixteenth year in education. I am married and we have three daughters; Savannah, Brooke, and Madelyn . I received my bachelor's degree in Psychology from Southern Methodist University. I also studied Elementary Education and hold an EC-4 teaching certificate. I love photography and spending time with my family. My oldest is a proud Baylor Bear and we love visiting Waco! I strive to instill a love of learning in my students. I want every student to feel valued, important, and confident in the classroom. It brings me great joy to teach and I know this is going to be an amazing year!
