Hello and welcome, Hawks!  I am so excited to be back at Hays again this year! This is my 3rd year in Prosper, but I've been teaching since 2012.  I teach 8th grade U.S. History. I have been a fervent fan of history since I was a child and I hope to inspire the same interest in my students. I am passionate about encouraging students to find their voice and become the best versions of themselves so they can reach their potential.  I know this will be a wonderful year!  

I was born in Lafayette, Indiana and lived in several states before settling in Texas. After high school, I attended Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX. Wreck 'Em Tech! I received my bachelors degree in Exercise and Sports Sciences, with minors in Education and History. My husband, Parker, and I have been married for 5 years and our daughter, Hannah, will be 2 in January. She is learning so much already! We also have 2 dogs that we just adore. When I'm not teaching you'll often find me reading, baking, or spending time with family and friends. 

Students see my Google Classroom page for classroom information.
