Hi!  Welcome to my page!  I am excited to be working at Mina.  I have been teaching 1st grade here since August 2013.  I graduated from Texas State University in May 2013 with my Bachelor's in Interdiscliplinary Studies.  Before teaching, I worked for Dell Inc. for almost 10 years.  

I grew up in Smithville, Tx and graduated from Smithville High School in 1996.  I met my husband during my freshman year in college at (then named) Southwest Texas State University, and we were married in 1998.  We have since had 4 children; 3 boys and a girl. Our sons were born in 2004, 2006, and 2009, and our daughter was born February 2017. 

Soon after our second son was born, I felt the calling to return back to school to finish getting my teaching degree.  I am glad I made that decision, because I love every minute of the classroom life!
