I am so excited to be your teacher this year! This will be my first year teaching in Dripping Springs, but my 4th year of teaching in upper elementary school. I graduated from Baylor University in 2011 with a degree in Communications and then completed an alternative certification program to become a teacher - I LOVE my job and cannot imagine doing anything else! My husband and I moved to Austin this summer from Boerne, Texas to be closer to our siblings and our two precious nieces, Audrey and Tess. We love all of the fun things that this area has to offer and I can't wait to see what this year brings!
Philosophy:
I believe... ...in celebrating each child's differences and learning from mistakes. ...I play an important role in shaping minds and attitudes each day by setting an example through my words and actions. ...we are never finished learning. I promise... ...to care for and get to know your child as an individual. ...to make your child feel at home in my classroom. ...to take time to listen and understand. ...to work hard to make this year a productive and memorable growth experience.
