Welcome to 4^th grade! I am thrilled to be part of the Madden family! This will be my seventh year teaching reading, writing, and social studies. I grew up in the Richmond area and attended Fort Bend schools. I graduated from the University of Houston with my Bachelor's in Elementary Education in 2018. After seven years of teaching, I’ve realized the true magic in education lies in creating a warm and welcoming classroom where each student can shine. I believe in spreading kindness and working hard. When I’m not teaching, I’m lost in a good book, swimming, traveling, or cuddling with my dog, Zion. I’m ready for a year of adventure, learning, and laughter! Go Huskies!
