Welcome to Tejeda Middle School! I teach Debate I/II/III, as well as 8th Grade AIM class. I am also the PALS (Peer Assistance Leadership and Service) teacher. This is my third year at Tejeda, as I returned to the classroom after taking time off to raise my kids and be an active volunteer in our district and community.

I graduated from Texas A&M University in 1995 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a minor in English (WHOOP!). I also earned my Master of Secondary Education from University of Arkansas-Fayetteville in 2002. I have taught 9-12th English/Pre-AP English and 7th & 8th GT in Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD, Alma ISD, and Pulaski County Special School District. My husband and I have two children who attended Tejeda, and our daughter will be a senior this year at Johnson High School. Go JAGS and TIMBERWOLVES! Our son graduated from Johnson and is a sophomore at Texas Tech. Go RED RAIDERS!

This year is going to be full of challenges and new learning opportunities. I am here to help you make your mark at Tejeda and ensure you have a successful school year!
