About Me
I moved to Austin from the Dallas/Fort Worth area three years ago and I am so proud to be a member of the Valley View family! This will be my fourth year teaching at VVE and my sixth year of teaching overall.
I am a Red Raider! I graduated from Texas Tech University in May 2013 with a B.S. in Multidisciplinary Studies EC-6, a specialization in English as a Second Language, and a minor in psychology. In May 2016 I completed my Master's of Education in Curriculum and Instruction with a specialization in Language and Literacy Education. I am passionate about teaching young children, and especially passionate about teaching reading and writing!
When I am not teaching, I enjoy watching sports, reading, exercising, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends! I am also a Pure Barre instructor and teach a few classes per week. My husband, Garrett, and I love to ski, try new restaurants, travel to new places, and watch documentaries on Netflix! We have been married since November 2013 and have already lived in three different cities! We know that Austin is home and we feel very blessed to live and settle in this amazing city.
Teaching is the greatest and most rewarding job in the world. I am living my dream as a school teacher. I am dedicated to the growth and development of the precious children entrusted to me. I believe in high levels of learning for all students and am committed to meeting the unique needs of them all! I feel truly blessed to be teaching third grade again at Valley View! I hope you are ready for an incredible year together!
