Welcome to the Library. I'm so happy to be starting my 12th year at Donald. It is an awesome place to learn and grow. I didn't have a love for reading until I got older, but once I learned I could go anywhere, I was "hooked on books." If I do nothing else, I hope that I can inspire a love of reading in each and every child that I touch.
I grew up in Mississippi and went to college in Alabama. I moved to Texas in 1992 and started teaching 3rd grade in San Antonio. I only lived there for a year before coming to Dallas and getting married. I then taught 3rd grade in Irving for 3 years. In 1996, I had my one and only child, Ross, and stayed home with him for 2 years. During this time I got my librarian certification and haven't looked back. The best decision I ever made!! I taught at Camey Elementary in The Colony for 15 years. I'm now an empty nester as my son is a private pilot and owns a Drone business here in Dallas. I live in Flower Mound with my sweet pet pig, Tallulah and Dewey the Bearded Dragon.
When I am not at school, you can find me with friends, reading or on any body of water. I really think I must have been a mermaid at one point! I love to travel and hope to take one big trip a year. In 2022 I went to Belize and it was the most amazing thing ever!!
