NOCONA

I began teaching at Nocona Elementary School 8 years ago. I have taught 1^st grade and 2^nd grade for the district. I also spent a couple years substituting in all grade levels.  Currently, I am the GT coordinator and teacher of the Challenge Program.

I began teaching in 1989 for Lewisville I.S.D.  I taught all subject areas for 2^nd and 3^rd grades with an emphasis on reading. I also served on the leadership team and as the mentor teacher of the campus. I have also worked as the lead teacher for PreK classes at a private school in Coppell, Texas. In addition, I worked for an art company and taught academic art to various aged children at various locations throughout the DFW metroplex area. I began teaching in Nocona in 2011 in 1^st grade.  I have also taught 2^nd grade here and then the Challenge/GT classes.  I have been the Elementary School Counselor since 2020.

My husband Matt and I have three adult daughters, two son in laws and 4 grandchildren.  We also have 2 dogs, Harvey and Ellie Mae.

 I like to spend time with my family at the lake, at our farm or cooking out. I like to go to concerts and also travel when I have the chance. I love to take things that are old and repurpose them for fun!
