Text Box: All About Me: This is my 10th year to be teaching. I taught 6 years at Bridgeport Middle School teaching 6th and 8th grade Reading and English. I then moved to Paradise with my family and began my teaching career here as well. I started at Paradise Elementary teaching 1st grade and although I loved the kids, elementary just wasn't for me. Luckily, a 6th grade Language Arts position became available and I then began teaching 6th grade Reading and Language Arts. I am beginning my 3rd year at Paradise Jr. High and love every minute of it. On a personal level, I have been happily married to Jason, a Southlake Fireman, for 16 years. We have two beautiful children. Makenna will be an 8th grader and Dylan will be in 7th grade. I also have a Pug named Bosley who is 5. We love to go to the mountains in Colorado and go camping and 4-wheeling. I love to read and hope you enjoy it too!
