About Me I am a proud product of Northside, graduating from John Jay High School. Go MUSTANGS!!!
I will begin my 11th year teaching in NISD. I have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, and 5th grades, Gifted & Talented k-5, and middle school GT Specialist. This will be my 3rd year as a middle school GT teacher. I am so excited to work with the students at Rawlinson MS. The students and I will both grow and discover new information as we dive deeper into our own learning and understanding. I am always willing to help my students learn and grow and be their best. I have a son in college, a son who will be a freshman at O'Connor, a 6th grade son, and a daughter in kindergarten. Though I always seem to be busy with my children's activities, I enjoy reading and spending time at the beach with my family. |
