Time sure flies when you're having fun! This is my twelfth year at Steiner Ranch Elementary. Nine years in 3rd grade and two years in 4th grade. I am so excited to be teaching Language Arts and Social Studies in 5th grade this year!
I'm a native Houstonion but have been in Austin since graduating from college. I enjoy the many opportunities for outdoor activities that Austin offers, including standup paddle boarding, kayaking, and hiking. I have two rat terriers, Sophie and Spanky, who love to walk with me along the Hike and Bike Trail downtown.
I'm a lifelong learner. I graduated from Austin College in Sherman, Texas, with an English degree, went on to earn a J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law, and after practicing school law for many years, I took graduate level education courses through Texas State University. I think I'm done with my formal education, but I'll never stop learning, and I find it incredibly rewarding to share my passion for learning with my students.
