I grew up in Pampa and have lived in the Texas Panhandle all my life. After graduating from West Texas State University in 1990, I began teaching at West Texas Elementary and spent the next 23 years of my career teaching Kindergarten. I have spent the past 3 years teaching Reading Intervention and Dyslexia. I have a passion for teaching children to read and love helping my students remove the barriers they may experince in reading.
