I am looking forward to my second year at Vandagriff and making the most of the adventure before us. This is my 28th year teaching; I have taught children in regular and special education from Pre-K through sixth grade in three different states and I now know that all of that was leading me here, to this! This is my dream job and I absolutely love being an Aledo Dyslexia Teacher!

There is nothing I enjoy more than teaching kids to read and helping them to unlock the magic of stories and all of the knowledge that can be found in the pages of a book.

When I am not at school or reading a book, you may find me hiking, biking, and gardening with my husband or just spending time with family. We have two grown sons, two lovely daughters-in-law, and one beautiful granddaughter so I also spend lots of time in the rocking chair reading all our favorite stories!
