I am so excited to continue as the third-grade reading teacher at Spring Meadows Elementary!  I graduated with a degree in Psychology from Texas A and M University in 1992 and obtained my teaching certificates in 2001.  I have been working in Education ever since and continue to seek opportunities to grow and develop to enhance my skills. A day without learning something new is a day wasted! I love learning new things!

I just completed my 16th year, eleven of which have been in Judson.  In the last nine years, I have been at Spring Meadows Elementary, almost all have been working with third graders.  In addition to third-grade reading, I have been a self-contained third-grade teacher, a third-grade math teacher, and a special education teacher providing extra support to third graders.  I also served different grade levels as the special ed teacher at SME.  Prior to that, I served five years in various special ed positions and one year in third grade at Willow Springs Elementary in Killeen, Texas. 

It is my honor to teach this year's group of third graders, with a smile on my face and a hug from my heart.  As we muddle through this new virtual learning environment together, we are going to make mistakes.  But with each mistake, there is a chance to become even greater than what we were before.  I will do whatever it takes to help our students become successful.    I want to instill in them a love of learning that will continue beyond the four walls of the classroom.  I have worked with some wonderful students and families and am excited about the possibility to re-establish relationships from previous years and make new ones.  I firmly believe that once you have been my student, you will always be my student!  I will continue to be passionate and positive about what I do because I do it for the kids.  

Let's make this year our best one yet!
