5th Grade ELAR Teacher Wooden Elementary
Red Oak ISD

This is my 28th year in education. I have taught all grades except Kindergarten, 1st, and 9th Grades. This is my 6th year at Red Oak ISD where I previously taught 6th ELAR, 6th Social Studies, 6th ELAR Resource, and was an educational diagnostician at Wooden Elementary and Red Oak High School. This will be my 2nd year teaching 5th ELAR at Wooden Elementary.

I have been married to my husband, Dave, for over 34 years. We have two sons: David, 29 and Chris, 22. We have two spoiled German Shepherds named Lily and Maggie, who we absolutely adore. I am originally from Arkansas and can do an awesome "Hog Call." My favorite hobbies are traveling, watching sports (anything Arkansas Razorbacks), and reading.

I am blessed to be a teacher at Wooden Elementary. I am looking forward to a great year in ELAR, where I know students will do amazing things this school year!
