Welcome!  I'm excited to begin my fifth year teaching 6th grade ELAR in Prosper ISD and my second on our wonderful Hays campus!  I'm originally from Oklahoma, where I graduated from Southwestern OK State University.  I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 23 years.  We relocated to Texas in 2008 and love being part of the Prosper family!  We have two sons; Max, who is a sophomore in high school, and Derek, who is a sophomore in college.  When I’m not at school, I enjoy reading, writing, OU Football, and attending my sons' basketball games.    

I am passionate about books and literacy, and it's my goal to instill a love for reading and writing in my students.  Please feel free to reach out to me for anything you need to help your child be successful.  We are going to have a fantastic year!
