I studied Human Communication for my undergraduate and graduate studies at Texas State University - San Marcos. After completing a semester abroad at the University of Amsterdam and Oxford University, I decided to live and teach in Europe and Asia. I am excited to be back in sunny Austin and honored to teach in my community at Patton Elementary School.

Before coming to the best school in Austin, I taught at a sweet school in central Austin for four years. I began my journey here at Patton in 2005. Austin has been my home town and I received a Bachelor's in Applied Learning and Development from The University of Texas.

I was born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I received a Bachelor’s of Arts in Elementary Education from Indiana University in 2013. I taught in Fort Wayne for four years, receiving my school’s teacher of the year in 2015. Before becoming a classroom teacher, I worked as a special education assistant for five years. I moved to Austin and began teaching at Patton in the spring of 2017. I have a passion for educating children in their whole entity, and enjoy working with them and sharing in all of their life’s experiences.

I grew up in California and graduated from BYU with a Bachelor of Science and a minor in Spanish. I began teaching in Fairfax County, Virginia in 2001 and came to Patton in 2016. I am a mother of four and have been a proud Patton parent since 2009. It’s a privilege to encourage all students to develop a love of learning.
