I am so excited to be teaching 7th grade ELAR at Garner Middle School! This is my 7th year teaching, and am ready for it to be the best year yet. I graduated from Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, TX with a degree in Criminal Justice and a minor in Psychology. I am also ESL certified.

I love reading and hope to impart that love to my students. We will integrating reading and writing everyday in order to help our students become academically stronger. 

On a personal note, I am a mother of three amazing children - Samuel 14 years, Cole 10 years (he is a 7th grader at Garner), and Katie 7 years. Besides reading, I love traveling, photography, and being in the country. I believe our energy and attitude in life creates our reality. My goal for this school year is to provide a fun and peaceful environment where my students will leave my classroom feeling energized and ready to take on the rest of their day!
