I am a highly dedicated teacher who is passionate about teaching elementary aged student in pk-5 physical education.  I  am a fun, flexible, motivated, and energetic teacher who loves to teach children how to love sports and exercises.  I have been teaching and coaching since I was in high school.  I still teach private swim lessons every summer.  

I started out teaching PE in HEB ISD back in 1997  and then I started my family and stayed home with my children until my youngest was in school.  I then was a substitute teacher for 8 years in Keller ISD and Carroll ISD.  In 2014 I was hired as an Assistant PE teacher in HEB ISD at West Hurst Elementary School where I stayed until 2016.  From 2016 until 2018 I was a PE Assistant and Low Impact teacher at Walnut Grove Elementary School in Carroll ISD.  In 2018 I got hired by Birdville ISD to be the head swim coach at Richland High School and the PE Teacher at Jack C. Binion Elementary School.  

I graduated from LD Bell High School in Hurst and then went to college in Lubbock at Texas Tech University, where I received my Bachelors of Science in Exercise and Sports Science.  I also have my ESL pk-12 teaching certificate as well.
