I am so excited to begin another year in 3rd grade as part of the Folsom Family! I have known that I was meant to be a teacher since I was in kindergarten. I love learning, and I have a passion to inspire others to feel the same. I believe in building strong relationships with my students, as well as establishing a tight knit community among my group of learners.  I try to instill confidence in my students, build their strengths, and motivate them to try new things. 

I was born in Abilene, but spent most of my life on the coast of Mississippi. I attended Mississippi State University for my bachelor's degree, and the University of South Alabama for my master's degree. Although I loved my time at the beach, I am so happy to be back in Texas and in Prosper as I begin my 7th year of teaching! 

It's going to be an amazing year in third grade!
