Hello! I graduated from Howard Payne University with a Bachelor's Degree in Education in Elementary Education, English and Music. Since then, I have added Secondary Reading, Secondary English, ESL, Special Education and Family & Consumer Science to my certificate. This is my 23rd year teaching and my 5th year at Richland Springs. This year I am teaching 1st grade, English III and English IV. I am currently enrolled at Angelo State University studying to obtain my Master's Degree in Instructional Leadership. I am the mama to one daughter, Elisabeth Grace, a Senior Education major at Angelo State, and two dogs, Daisy Belle, a twelve year old wire-haired dachshund, and Nessa Rose, a three year old Pointer-Pitt mix.  My hobbies include traveling, crafting, singing and spending time with my family.
