I'm a born and raised Texan and went to college at Texas State University! I've been teaching for sixteen years. Two of those were at Katy High School (GO TIGERS!) and three were at a Public Charter School (GO PANTHERS!) in Washington DC. I'm very excited to be back HOME in Texas with KISD as a TOMPKINS FALCON!
