I am a native Texan. Texas music, dancing and being outdoors, especially if it involves the sun and water, are some of my favorite things. I enjoy watching the Astros, Space Cowboys and the Texas Longhorns. Above all, I enjoy making people laugh. Born with the genetic disorder Neurofibromatosis, I am often reminded of my facial differences and the other complications of my disorder. Yet, I believe each of us was created with a purpose and I know I wouldn't be the same person I am today without the struggles and triumphs God has given me. I taught kindergarten for 14 years and PreK for 5 years at a Lutheran school in Houston.  I found my place at Lantern Lane in 2019.  My goal is to create an environment in which my students feel enthusiastic about school and confident they can succeed!
