This is my third year teaching at Kopperl ISD. Year 3 marks some big changes in my daily schedule at Kopperl. I have moved from teaching junior high math all day to spending my days in Special Education with the exception of one pclass period when I will still teach 7^th grade Math.

 Kopperl is not new to me, because I was a substitute teacher/aide for Kopperl starting in 1997 until 2004 in every grade and subject Pre-K through 12 ^th grade and ISS. During that time, I was able to figure out what grades and subjects were best suited for me. I started my teaching career in 2007 at Keene Junior HIgh teaching 8^th US History, 7^th grade Math, and 8^th grade Math Support. In 2009, I made the move to Blum Elementary. I taught 5^th grade Math and Science for 13 years. In 2022, I was able to hire on here in Kopperl and started teaching 5^th – 7^th Math, the next year I added teaching 8^th grade Math and high school World Geography.

I started teaching Sunday School when I was in junior high in the children’s department. From 1996 to 2016, I taught children’s and youth Sunday School at First Baptist Church Kopperl. In 2016, I started teaching girls’ Bible study 6^th through 12^th grade  until that group of girls graduated at Cleburne Bible Church where my family currently attends. 

My favorite thing to do is to hang out with my family. Family has always been important in my life growing up with 4 sisters and 1 brother. Grandkids has just added another level of fun! My husband and I enjoy trying new places to eat as well as hunting and range shooting. Church has been and will be the most important piece of life.
