Current Position:

I started working at the Elementary School in August of 2010.  I took over the Early Education classroom after Jessie Biscamp retired.  I have been here ever since and can think of nowhere else I would rather teach!  In 2011, Linden – Kildare partnered with Head Start and for the past six years I have had the priviledge of being the ISD teacher for the three year old class.  I teach my EE class in the morning and three year old Head Start classes in the afternoon. .  This current school year (2017 -2018), I have a new afternoon schedule.  I am not the ISD teacher for the Head Start 3 program, instead, I am the inclusion teacher for kindergarten and first grades.  As of the 2018 – 2019 school year, I have done EE in the moring, inclusion in the afternoon, and have also done self contained classes as well.   In total I have worked for LKCISD going on fourteen years.

Previous Position:

I began my teaching career in 2004, as a student teacher for a resource classroom in Bloomburg, Texas.  In August of 2005 I accepted a postition at Mae Luster Stephens Junior High teaching 6 – 8th Life Skills. I taught in that postition for 2 years.  In August of 2007, I took over the Content Mastery Lab at the Junior High.  I taught in that position for 2 years.  In August of 2009, I felt I needed a change and accepted a position teaching at the Jefferson Elementary school.  There, I took over a brand new classroom for students with Autism.  I worked there a year and decided to return to Linden.  In August of 2010, I took over the Early Education classroom after Jessie Biscamp retired.  

Family Information:

 My husband Rodney and I, both graduated from Linden – Kildare High School.  We were married in 2004.  We have two beautiful daughters.  Our oldest, Ada is in the fourth grade at Linden Elementary and our youngest, Cora is 4 years old.  We have a pet cat, Mow.

Personal Information:

When I am not teaching, I enjoy photography, reading, watching movies, and spending time with my family.
