Welcome to First Grade! 

This is my 5th year teaching 1st grade at Scanlan Oaks, and my 11th year in total for teaching. I have previously taught Pre-K as well as Kindergarten, but I really love first grade!

I grew up in beautiful Colorado and love the mountains, skiing, and John Elway! We made the big move to Houston 8 years ago. It was a tough transition at first, but now we love the beach almost as much as the mountains. I  have two busy boys, ages 9 and 14.  Baylor is my 9 year old who keeps me busy with baseball, legos, and playdates.  Kellen is my 14 year old sports fanatic.  We spend most of our weekends traveling around for both boys' baseball teams. In addition to the boys, I also have a pitbull mixed dog named Mila, a small papillon dog named Biloxi, a fat cat named Kingston, and a 1 year old tiny cat named Layla. As you can tell, I’m a huge animal lover! Besides traveling around for baseball, I love to play soccer, hang with friends, and taking vacations!

As a teacher, I hope to build children’s confidence in all aspects of school while remaining structured and loving. I look forward to working with you to further your child’s education and future!
