I graduated from Hardin High School in 1988.

I have attended: Lee College

                          Stephen F. Austin State University

                          Lamar University

This will be my 20th year teaching at Hardin Elementary.

I have been married to the love of my life, Chad Barrett, for 25 years.

We have two grown sons, two daughter-in-loves, and one beautiful granddaughter.  Bryce is a Junior High Math teacher at Liberty ISD, Jennifer is a stay-at-home mom (hardest job of all!) and photographer, and Lexington is a beautiful girl living her best life!  Zachary is the Assistant Athletic Trainer at Lufkin High School and Molle is a 1st grade Teacher at Burley Elementary. 

I love spending time with family and friends.  I also love cooking and reading.
