This is my 6th year at Justiss Elementary. I am Wildcat proud! I taught 1st grade for 5 years and I am beginning a new journey as a Reading Interventionist this year. Thank you for choosing Justiss as your child’s school! #ShiningBrighterTogether #BeTheLight
Before becoming a teacher, I completed my internship and residency at Chisum Elementary. I observed and taught in a 1st grade self-contained classroom and a 4th grade Writing classroom. After completion of my coursework, I became a Pre-K teacher at Little Ark Learning Center here in Paris.
I married my wonderful husband, Michael in 2011. We had our first child, Brian in 2012 and then our daughter, Delilah in 2016. Brian is also a student at Justiss. He loves being a Wildcat. We have a cat named Jack that we rescued. We also have a crested gecko named Sunny. I am the middle child of two sisters, Liz and Jane. Liz teaches high school in Ohio and Jane lives in College Station working at a nutrition company.
