Meet the Teacher


WELCOME TO FIRST GRADE!

I am very excited to share this year with your child!  In the coming weeks, I look so forward to learning more about your little cuties! For now, here is a little information about me... I grew up in Baytown, Texas, located 15 miles east of Houston.  My two wonderful parents relocated to the Austin area after retirement, and I have two fabulous sisters. Upon graduation, I moved to Austin and attended the University of Texas - Go Longhorns!

This is my seventeenth year teaching first grade at Canyon Creek!  I look forward to getting to know each and every family in my classroom this year. It is such fun facilitating all of the great learning that takes place in First Grade!

In December, my husband, Chad, and I will celebrate our fifteenth wedding anniversary.  He is the perfect match for me! We both enjoy living in Austin and sharing the life we've created.  We have a wonderful 10-year old son who will be in Fifth Grade and a precious 8-year old daughter who will be in Third Grade at CCE this fall.  They are so much fun and keep us on our toes most of the time!  We also have two energetic dogs: Ribby and Annabelle. Life couldn't be better!
