I love getting kids excited about science and am looking forward to being at Johnson Middle School! It is a fantastic school with an amazing staff!

 

I live in Wylie with my husband and 20 yr. old son who is a graduate of Wylie High School and now a student at Collin College. My husband and I have lived in the Dallas area for 24+ years and believe it is a great place to live and work!

 

This is my 15th year teaching middle school science - my 1st year in MISD. Learning something new every day and making a difference in the lives of others is what drives me! My biggest professional achievement has been the influence I have had on students and educators.

​

In my classroom, we value teamwork and personal responsibility; safety and respect; honesty and trustworthiness; creativity and innovation; kindness and compassion. We use technology regularly as a tool for learning. We use projects (big and small) as a way to make connections between our learning and the 'real world'. 

 

My goal for every student is academic and personal growth. I want students to become a partner in their own learning by setting goals, tracking his/her progress and then using reflection techniques to assess progress and adjust goals accordingly.
