About The Teacher

This is my eleventh year at Laurel Mountain, but I have been teaching 5th 
graders for 20 years.  Previously, I was at Gattis Elementary in Round Rock 
for 8 years and Atlanta, Georgia for 2 years.  I received a Bachelor of 
Science degree in Elementary Education but also have a minor in music.  In 
the last few years, I've received TAG and ESL certification.  Laurel 
Mountain is a wonderful school with students who are eager to learn and a 
faculty and staff that are supportive and innovative.

My husband and I have been married for 39 years and have 3 adult children who 
all live in the Austin area.  

Heather and her husband Jerad have four sons: Wyatt, Seth, 
Reece, and Eli - all very handsome and highly intelligent young men! Our son, 
John, is a Children's Pastor at a church in the Westlake area, and their son, 
Colton, is a happy and adventurous one year old.  Yes, that's 5 grandsons; we 
are blessed!  Our daughter, Tamara, is single and enjoys her work with a 
local recruiting firm.  We have an active Irish Setter named Piper and 4 
Arabian horses: a 12 year old mare, Bini, who had her first foal in April 
2010, a 3 year old filly named Bella, and another young filly named 
Priscilla. Mr. Sorrell and I enjoy traveling, snow skiing, and spending time 
together as a family.
