Thank you for visiting my class page! This will be my second year at East Bernard High School. I previously taught speech, debate, and theatre, and I’m thrilled to be in the English department this year!

I’m originally from Minnesota. My husband, three children, and I moved to Texas in 2021, and I’ve been a Texaholic ever since! I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology and Biblical Studies from the University of Northwestern in St. Paul, MN, and a Master’s Degree in Family Science from Concordia University, St. Paul. Although my education may not scream “English teacher,” I assure you my experience in the professional world—and most recently in public relations—has prepared me wonderfully to teach your child(ren). I have shared my story with your child in class, and you can ask them for the details, or perhaps you and I will have the chance to talk about my journey to East Bernard in passing sometime.

I’m on a mission to make learning fun and engaging, so our classroom environment will include a variety of learning and assessment styles. Ultimately, we want students to be prepared for their English EOC, and I will do my best to ensure their success. Please never hesitate to reach out via email or telephone with any questions or concerns, but understand that I will not discuss anything with a parent or guardian until the student has first attempted to communicate with me. I want 9th graders to feel comfortable and confident in my classroom, and that will only happen when they’ve been given the independence they need to flourish throughout high school and beyond!
