Hello!  I am excited about continuing my teaching career in 1st grade at Eastridge Elementary!  I'm originally from Upstate New York and moved to Texas in 2001, where I taught 1st, 2nd,and 3rd grades in Waco.  I have been married for 29 years to my husband, John.  We have 1 very spoiled cat named Albert, who is always keeping us on our toes.  I enjoy reading, coloring, journaling, swimming, and having fun with my friends.  I look forward to meeting everyone and can't wait for the school year to start.
