Welcome to the third grade page and welcome to St. Mary School.  I am excited to begin my 11^th year teaching at SMS and 26th year in education. 
I began my teaching career at Immaculate Conception School in Denton.  I taught Kindergarten there for three years after graduating from TWU in 1996.  I then moved back to Gainesville and taught 3 ^rd and 4 ^th grade for 13 years at Gainesville ISD.  
Nathan and I have been married for 24 years and have three sons. Harrison will begin his Freshman year at OSU, Jeffrey will be a freshman at GHS & Reed is in 5^th grade at SMS. The boys keep us busy with every sport! Go Mustangs, Go Leopards & Go Pokes!  We are members of St. Mary Church and love that our children have the opportunity to receive a Catholic education.  
I love working in a faith filled environment and teaching children about Jesus.  I am blessed to help develop a child not only academically but also spiritually.
