Where are you from? I am originally from Henderson, but I have lived in the Tyler area for about 17 years.
Family? I have been married to my husband Curtis, the social studies coordinator for Tyler ISD, for almost 19 years. We have three sons: Tucker (incoming sophomore at Legacy), Carter (incoming freshman at Legacy), and Channing (incoming 5th grader at Jack). We also have a family dog, a Pyre-doodle named Denver.

Experience in education? I graduated from Stephen F. Austin where I studied middle level education with an emphasis in social studies. Since then, I have taught and/or tutored students in grades 5-12 in both social studies and language arts (and even a little bit of algebra) in Henderson, Whitehouse, and Tyler ISD. I am also no stranger to Three Lakes since I have been there for the past two years as a super-sub and certified tutor.
Favorite middle school memory? My favorite middle school memory is probably cheering at pep rallies and football games.
Anything else you want to share...I am extremely grateful to be a part of Three Lakes Middle School and am looking forward to the 2024-2025 school year!

Favorite middle school memory? My favorite teachers in middle school were Mrs. Thompson, my math teacher, and Mrs. Brown who taught Career Investigations.

I had known from a young age that I wanted to be a teacher like my mom, but the vocational surveys in Mrs. Brown’s class sealed it for me.
Anything else you want to share... I am so excited to be at Three Lakes and I am ready to start this adventure!
