NOCONA

I have been teaching Special Edcation for 20 years, first in Grapevine-Colleyville where I taught at both the Elementary and Middle School levels.  I have been working at Nocona Elementary School for the past four years.

Prior to moving to Montague, I worked in the Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District for 20 years.  I worked at the administration building, then moved to Dove Elementary School where I was the Administrative Assistant to the Principal for two years before I began teaching.  I have been teaching for 17 years, both at Dove Elementary School and Grapevine Middle School, where I taught Resource Reading, Writing, and Math.

I have been married to my wonderful husband David for 38 years and we have three grown children.  My daughter Chelsea and her husband have five kids, including twin boys born in December of 2016.  My daughter Kelly has two children, making me the doting Nana to seven precious kids.  My son Dylan is married and he and his wife Jenny are working on a tiny house here in Montague County.  My husband and I have two Rat Terriers, an Australian Shepherd, plus 15 chickens, five goats, and five Brangus cattle.  Needless to say, living in Montague is vastly different from living in Grapevine!

After spending the past few years in the middle school setting, I have really enjoyed coming back to elementary school.  Many of the students I see are very eager to learn, which is refreshing.  I am working on fostering that desire to learn in all of my students.  When I am not at work I enjoy reading and remodeling our home in Montague.
