I have been teaching for nineteen years. I have taught both first and second
grade. I have been teaching first grade for the last twelve years at Gattis.
I grew up in the Austin area. I have lived in Round Rock for the past
fifteen years. I have two beautiful boys of my own. My oldest is a graduate
of Stony Point High School and currently attends Temple Junior College on a
full ride baseball scholarship. My youngest is a sophomore at the new Cedar
Ridge High School. He plays both football and baseball for the Raiders. I am
very impressed with the Round Rock School district not only as a teacher but
also as a parent. I am married to a wonderful man who is a State Trooper. We
have an adorable Yorkie named Harley and a very large (fat) twenty pound cat
named Tigger. We spend a lot of our time going to football games in the fall
and baseball games during the spring.
Well, I obviously didn't do it for the money and contrary to popular belief
we do not get three months off during the summer. ;-) I became a teacher
because I love children and I love trying to impact their lives in a positive
way that will help them to become well rounded, successful, adults with many
opportunities ahead of them. In my classroom each child will feel unique and
special. I will only accept their best and they will understand that as long
as they try they will never fail. Can't is a word that is not used because
once we use the word can't, the trying stops. I know that all children do
not learn in the same way therefore I will work with each child to find
which switch "turns the light bulb on" so they each can meet their true
potential.
I am their teacher at school but you, as parents, are their teacher at home.
Your child needs all of us, working as a team, to help them to be as
successful as possible. My door is always open and I promise to take good
care of your child educationally, physically and emotionally.
We are going to have a great year and Gattis is a great place to be!
