I was born and raised in the Austin/Pflugerville area. I have wanted to become a teacher since I was in the fourth grade. Teaching is my passion and I am honored to be a second grade teacher at McCoy Elementary. I graduated from Concordia University in 1996. I am starting my 27th year of teaching. Currently, I am starting my 20th year in Georgetown ISD. My certifications are 1st-6th, ESL, and gifted/talented. I have been married for 27 years. I have two children. I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, walking, and shopping.
