Hi! I love our amazing school and the wonderful community. I have been in Redland for two years. I have been teaching for 17 years, with over a decade of experience in 5th grade ELAR. I have had the opportunity to teach in a variety of states, such as Virginia and Washington. Also, I have taught every single grade level from PreK-5th, and they are all my favorites in their own ways.

I have 5 wonderful children, ages ranging from 10-24 years old. I have recently become a grandma and I love it! Such an exciting season in my life. My husband is a retired military servicemember, and we have made San Antonio our home. We love cheering on the Spurs and having family movie nights, walking our dogs, and exploring the city highlights, such as the theme parks, and zoo, and most of all, we love trying new restaurants.

I graduated from Texas A&M Kingsville with my undergraduate and Master's in Instructional Leadership from Concordia University Austin. I have a passion for reading and writing. I can always be found at a bookstore browsing for hours and deciding what new books to add to my collection. I want to instill that joy of reading and writing in the students, so they can be able to share their voices and ideas!
