All About Me:
I am excited to be your child's Pre-K teacher this year!  I have a passion for teaching, and I am dedicated to creating a positive learning environment.  
 
I am married and have two children and three grandchildren.  My son Noah is 25 and is in the Air Force stationed here at Randolph AFB and my daughter Alexis is 21 and is a senior at Baylor University.  She will be commissioned upon graduating this year also into the Air Force.  My grandchildren are 4 years, 1.5 years and 2 months old.
 
For fun I love anything active and outdoors; going to the lake, hiking, running and of course spending time with my family.
