It is such an honor to be teaching fifth grade ELA and Social Studies this year at Highlands. This is my eighth year at this amazing school and I have been teaching elementary school for over ten years; however, I have taught adult education as well as preschoolers so my teaching experience is quite varied. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a probation officer and in doing so I learned that I wanted to help people before they got into trouble with the law. I went to UH and earned my Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction and began teaching in HISD. I am married to a wonderful man and have two incredible children who make me proud on a daily basis. I also have two nutty dogs, Daisy and Ella. We had an extremely busy summer with foundation repair, installing new floors, refinishing furniture and getting rid of the excess. One of my passions is crafting, all kinds of crafting, and I also love reading and travel. Thank you for visiting our website! Please visit often.
