Hello kindergarteners!

I’m so excited to begin the 2019-2020 school year at White Oak Primary. This will be my 14th year teaching and I couldn’t be more ready to start our journey together. I absolutely LOVE teaching our youngest learners.

I am married to my husband Jason and we have two boys together. Tristen will be in eighth grade this year and Kadin will be in fifth grade. Our family has one dog, a bearded dragon, and three cats. All three of our cats are shelter pets and our dragon is rehomed.

When we can, our family enjoys camping and traveling. For the past seven years, during the summer, we’ve camped (not “glamped”) in northwest Arkansas. It’s always a blast and we look forward to it each year. Where we camp at we are only about an hour away from Branson, Missouri. If you have never been there, there is so much to do and see. Each year we pick one day while we are camping and make the drive to Branson, it’s always a blast. This summer we’ve done a few “staycations” (including San Antonio, Waco, Hurricane Harbor, and Port Aransas). Anywhere on a beach is my favorite place to be and I am looking forward to hearing about some of your favorites. Speaking of favorites here are some answers to frequently asked questions that I get from kids and their parents.
