I have been teaching English and Reading since 2005. I started my career in Dayton as an Instructional Aide for ELA. My collegues help me to realize that I was already doing the job and why not get paid for it.  I finished my degree from Sam Houston State University in 2004. My degree is in Academic Studies with a  minor in English and Reading.

I retired from Hardin in 2022, thinking that it was time for me to stay at home. I found out that I missed being in the classroom and the students, so I applied to teach again. The Algebra 1 spot came open and I thought, why not.  Mr. Tucker found out that I had enough hours to also have a minor in math, so here I am. 

Algebra was my favorite subject in high school and college, so I am embarking on a new journey with Algebra 1.
