I am so excited to be back on campus at Neill Elementary this year! I am excited to use my background in Kinesiology to educate my students in health and physical education! I have been teaching for 17 years, 6 of those in Alief and I've spent the past 11 years in FBISD. I have taught kindergarten, 1st grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and physical education. 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 (15) and Parker (14), who attend school at Foster High 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!
