About The Teacher

I have been in Texas for 7 years.  I am originally from the Great 
Lakes State, Michigan.  I earned my Bachelors degree in Biology and 
Elementary Education from Grand Valley State University and my Master Degree 
in Elementary Education from Western Michigan University.  I taught for 8 
years in Michigan, then stayed home with my children for many years and 
decided to teach again 5 years ago.  This is my 4th year at Gattis Elementary.

I have three wonderful children, who keep me busy while I am not at school.  
I love to spend time with my family and friends.  My son will be in 9th 
grade, a daughter in 7th and my youngest daughter in 3rd grade.  Our favorite 
place to visit is the beach! I also enjoy reading, gardening, cooking, and 
running. 

I am so excited to be at Gattis Elementary and to be working with your child!

Mission For The Class

Our goal, as a class, is to create an environment where all students will 
have the opportunities to reach their learning potential, and build positive 
social relationships with peers.
