Welcome to high school, Rangers!

I'm excited to be your English I AAC teacher this year! I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio.  I moved to Texas 13 years ago, and this will be my 14th year teaching, and my 9th at CHS. I started out teaching in Aldine ISD, where I taught English I for 4 years.  After Aldine, I taught a year of 8th grade English in Pearland, and finally landed here at CHS. I love it here!

In addition to teaching, I am also a professional writer! As a freelancer, I write blog articles, email marketing texts, website copy, and so much more for an educational app company that I've been working with for the past six years. I truly hope that my experience with professional writing will help to give you real world context for improving your own writing skills!

Also, I recently graduated from Sam Houston State University with a master's of education in curriculum and instruction in August of 2022. 

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching way too much TV, and spending my time with my family. I have 10-year-old twin girls, a 7-year-old son. My girls are in 5th grade this year at Colony Bend ES, and my son is in the 2nd grade. I also have three dogs. Two of them are 12-year-old littermates, and they are Australian cattle dog/golden retriever mixes. The puppy was born last January, and is also an Australian cattle dog mix. 

I am looking forward to having yet another awesome year here at CHS, and I hope you are too!
