I graduated from Wayland Baptist University, in 1998 with a Bachelors Degree in Education. I recently graduated in 2014 with a Masters Degree in Instructional Leadership from Wayland Baptist University. I have eighteen years experience in teaching. I started teaching in 1998, at Kress, as a 4th-6th science/choir teacher. I taught there for five years. Later, in 2003, I began teaching in Plainview at Ash Sixth Grade Learning Center as a ELAR teacher. Then, in 2013, I began teaching as a seventh grade ELAR teacher. This year, 2015, will be my first year teaching fourth grade at Hillcrest Elementary. I am excited to be here and teach 4th graders. It will be my thirteenth year in Plainview Independent School District.
