Married to my high school sweetheart and been together 42 years.  I have two sons, Spencer (30 yrs. old) and Trevor (28 yrs. old).  My oldest son, Spencer, is a Port Neches Firefighter and my younger son, Trevor, is a Port Arthur Police Officer and SWAT Team member.  Trevor is married to my beautiful daughter-in-law, Brianne and they have two amazing sons, Oliver (4 yrs. old) and Finn (2 yrs. old).  My husband and I love farming, traveling, scuba diving and our family.  I have three dogs, 2 labs (Cooper and Colt), and a chihauha named Grover but I call him Taco (lol).  I am very passionate about teaching and this is my 21^st year of teaching.  I have taught 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 5^th, 6^th grades and love READING and Math.  I love bringing hands-on activities and fun into the classroom.  In my classroom we are family and treat each other like family with kindness, respect and fun.  I am looking forward to an amazing year and I’m always here for YOU!!
