This will be my 11th year of teaching and my 7th year at Barton Creek Elementary. I love being a part of the BCE family and look forward to another great year!
I attended The University of Texas at Austin (Hook 'Em!) and received a Bachelor's degree in All-Level Special Education. After college I taught in Chicago for 4 years in various Special Education settings. My husband's job brought us back to Texas in 2011. I had the opportunity to provide private ABA Therapy in and around the Austin area for 9 months before coming back to the classroom for the 2012-2013 school year.
As a teacher I strive for my students to have a love of learning. I enjoy showing them tools and strategies that help them to be successful and confident in their abilities. I love to see students excited and proud of their achievements. I believe that every child learns differently and is capable of great things. It is my goal to support them through their educational journey and to have some fun along the way!
When I'm not teaching I enjoy spending time with my husband Robin, our son Lane, our rescue pup Dusty, my family and friends. I love travel, skiing, hiking and although Chicago IS my kind of town, I am happy to be back in the heart of Texas where we are close to our families in San Antonio (Go Spurs Go!) and get to visit often :)
