I was born in Rome, New York, but I have lived in Texas for over half of my life.  I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Science in 2006, and I graduated from Wayland Baptist University with a Master's Degree in Education in 2008.  I have also earned certificates in Gifted and Talented Education (GT) and English as a Second Language Education (ESL)  This is my 14th year of teaching.  I am looking forward to a wonderful school year!
