Welcome to 5th grade! I'm excited to be on the best 5th grade team here at Salinas Elementary.

Since 2015, I've had the opportunity to work as the campus Technology Aide, third grade Special Education Paraprofessional, and 4th grade teacher. I am Judson ISD through and through. I attended Live Oak ES (now Ed Franz), Kitty Hawk MS, and I graduated from high school as a proud Judson Rocket! I have a Bachelor's degree in the Psychology of Organizational Development from The University of the Incarnate Word, and a Masters' degree in Business Administration from Our Lady of the Lake University. Why a teacher, you ask? Some years ago, I decided to leave my corporate and non-profit career path in search of more purpose. I reflected and chose education. In 2019, I completed an alternative certification program and here I am - growing in the craft of teaching to fulfill my purpose and help children grow in learning.

My little family consists of my spouse, a teenager, and a dog we call Lacy. We enjoy family time, the beach, barbeques, sports, movies, and this adventure we call LIFE.
