I am so excited to join the Outclass team at Neill Elementary this year!  I can't wait to use my background in kinesiology to educate my students in health and physical education!  I have been teaching for 13 years, 6 of those in Alief and I've spent the past 7 years in FBISD.  I have taught kindergarten, 1st grade, physical education, 3rd grade, and 4th grade.  I have a true passion to help differentiate skills and abilities amongst a diverse group of learners.  I graduated from Texas A&M University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and a Minor in Business.  After graduating, I worked in sales for the Houston Rockets.  I received my teaching certification in 2003 and started my teaching career in Alief.  I have two sons, Miller (11) and Parker (10), who attend school in Lamar Consolidated ISD.  I am originally from Lake Charles, Louisiana, but I call myself a Texan since I have lived here for over 20 years.

A fun fact about me is that I threw the javelin for Texas A&M's track and field team!
