I graduated from the University of West Florida in May of 2006 with my B.A. in special education. After graduation I went on to teach Pre-k for a year at a local day care center. I moved to Texas in May of this year to be closer to my family. I currently live with my sister and BIL (Brother-in-Law). I have one cat that is the apple of my eye and I am the aunt to two cats and a dog. I’m very proud to be a part of the Forman team.

"I excited to be one of the Bilingual Special Education teachers here at Forman this year. Although originally from the beautiful country of Guatemala, I lived and went to school in Oklahoma. As a new graduate from the University of Central Oklahoma I feel privileged to work here during my first year of teaching. Every student brings something special to this experience."

Anitra Taylor
I am a college graduate of '91 and this is my 5th year teaching in the Plano School District. I teach simply because of my love for children of any color or creed and any personality. They are so precious! My goal is to lead them to become productive, moral, future leaders of our great country. My terrific son Davey is a 7th grader who loves football, and I have an incredible husband who is a musical genius, ex-police force for 16 years, and the love of my life.
