I have been at St. Mark since: 2025
Personal: My husband, Todd, and I recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary, and we reside in McKinney with our two sons, Charlie (6th grade) and George (5th grade), who also attend St. Mark. Our family wouldn't be complete without our two black labs, Bear and Goose! Outside of school, I love to stay active and engaged! You’ll often find me at sporting events cheering on my boys, working out with my Peloton family, or unwinding with a challenging New York Times puzzle.
Philosophy of Education: I believe education begins with knowing every student by name and by need. I strive to create a classroom where each learner feels seen, valued, and supported. By building strong relationships and tailoring instruction, I help students grow academically and personally, preparing them for success beyond the classroom.
Mission Statement: My mission is to create a joyful, encouraging classroom where every third grader feels confident and inspired to learn. Through positivity and patience, I aim to nurture curiosity, kindness, and a love of learning in each child.
