I grew up in California and then attended New Mexico State University to play softball. After graduating in 2004, I moved to Dallas. I recently attended DBU, where I earned my Master's Degree in Administration; and I hope to be a principal someday! I enjoy anything outdoors, running, shopping, movies, spending time with friends and family, and playing with my Yorkie puppy, Rocco. I love teaching in third grade!

I was born in Houston, TX, and later moved to Kingwood, TX where I grew up. I attended Abilene Christian University and received my BBA in Marketing. After I was married and had small children, I decided I wanted to teach, so I went to the University of North Texas to work on my teacher's certification. I started teaching sixth grade at Prestonwood Elementary in the Richardson ISD in 1999.

I have two wonderful children, Lauren and Trey. Lauren attends the University of North Texas and is working on her Elementary Education degree. She has a precious little boy named Caden. He is the light of my life, and he calls me "Honey." Trey is attending Blinn College at College Station in hopes of entering Texas A & M. I also have a sweet yellow lab named Bucky. I love to cook, garden, read, scrapbook, and shop in my spare time!

I was born in Grand Prairie, Texas, but lived 6 years of my childhood in Mexico. After I graduated from Lakeview High School, I attended Richland College and UTA. My love for helping kids and teaching inspired me to become a teacher. My first teaching experience was in Carrollton. After 3 years in Carrollton, I decided to move to Plano where I love teaching 3rd grade at Jackson! My wife’s name is Brenda, and we have a son named Alexander. I enjoy working with kids and traveling.

I was born and raised in the Richardson/Plano area and attended Berkner High School in Richardson. That is where I met my high school sweetheart and husband, Mike. Through the years, we were blessed with three wonderful daughters, Brittni, Judi, and Haley. Being a parent is the highlight of my life. I graduated from Amber University with a B.B.A. and, at that time, operated a home-based child care center. I also had the opportunity to substitute, and it was during this time that I knew I was meant to be a teacher. After moving to Sachse, I obtained my teaching certificate from Letourneau University and began to substitute in Richardson, Wylie, and Plano. Plano exceeded my expectations. I am very proud to be teaching at Jackson Elementary School.
