I have been with LCMCISD since August 2008, where I completed student teaching in first grade. After student teaching, I began a long-term substitute teaching from January 2009 to May 2010. In August 2010, I obtained a full-time teaching position in Kindergarten and Little Cypress Elementary! After teaching Kindergarten for 4 years, I took the opportunity to gain other grade level experience and moved to third grade to teach Math, Science and Social Studies! This is my 13^th year as a classroom teacher.

Before becoming a teacher, I worked for Kroger for 9 years. I started out as a cashier when I was 16, worked my way up to floor supervisor and then to the hiring manager/payroll clerk.  

My hobbies are cooking and baking! I also love to make crafts and to travel...over the summer of course!!!
