I then attended Northeast Louisiana University in Monroe, Louisiana.  I graduated (in 1997) with a major in Health and Human Performance and a minor in Math.  I also played softball at NLU.  

After teaching high school math for 15 years, I returned to college (online) and obtained a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from Stephen F Austin State University!

Over 25 years in education – I have attended a copious amount of professional development.  I have attended CAMT for several years in the past.  (Council for the Advancement of Mathematics Teachers)  (I even presented at this conference 3 years ago).  I have had regular training in :  ESL, GT, Special Education, Co-teaching, Curriculum, Response to Intervention, Autism, 504, Mathematics, Social Emotional Learning, Differentiated Instruction and much more!

Most recently, summer of 2022, I attended UIL Camp in Sabine, Texas!  I am looking forward to attending STAAR Redesign training this fall to learn more about the upcoming changes on the Algebra 1 STAAR EOC.  

I am starting my second year at Callisburg HS teaching Algebra 1 & Honors Algebra 1

I only have time for one hobby….Trail Running!  I completed the Javelina Jundred (100K in Arizona) in October of 2020!  I am currently registered for the Javelina Jundred Mile this October.  I will be attempting my first 100 mile run.  (and yes, I will attempt to do it all at one time, and yes, there will be some walking)  So, if you see me running around Callisburg, toss me a water!! (ha!)  Also, I’m always looking for running buddies, so feel free to reach out!

When I am not teaching, I enjoy hanging with my dogs, spending time with friends/family, or going for a run!  (and sleeping, sleeping is good)  

We love to travel and spent 9 days in Utah & Arizona this summer visiting Bryce Canyon, Zion Canyon and Grand Canyon.  We also visited the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park!  Very Cool!!!
