Hello! Growing up in Mississippi afforded me a lot of time on the beach and lots of fishing.  In 1987, as a junior in highschool, my family moved to West Texas, quite a shock!  Over the years I have come to love the dry heat, dirt and tumbleweeds!  It took some time for me to start my teaching career and in 2004 finally landed my first teaching gig.  I have taught 4th - 12th grade, and I honestly LOVE teaching 4th grade.
