Welcome to BMS!  

 

This is the beginning of my 28th year in education; the last 15 have been here at Burnet Middle School.  Thirteen of those years I taught in the ELA department.  In 2021, I was appointed the new Librarian at the Middle School. I love my new role of promoting and supporting literacy throughout out campus.

 

I have taught preschool to high school seniors but find middle school to be the place for me.  I am enjoying the new adventure as the school's Librarian.  I have a passion for reading and writing and enjoy sharing that with students.  I hope they leave me feeling encouraged and with a desire to be life long learners.

 

I am originally from Abilene, Texas, where I attended Wylie High School and Hardin-Simmons University.  I have been married for 32 years and the mother of three boys.  Our oldest son earned a bachelor's degree from Tarleton State University, where he also played football.  He went on to complete his Physician Assistant's degree from Hardin-Simmons University. He and his wife have one son (our FIRST grandchild) and live in Frisco, where he is an Orthopedic PA-C. Our second son is a graduate of the University of Texas at Dallas.  He is married and working as a Loan Officer for Benchmark Mortgage Company in Austin. Our youngest son is a Senior at the University of Texas, Dallas, majoring in Heath Care Management and playing basketball. 

 

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy playing the piano, reading and spending time with family.  We are big sports fans and you can usually find me in the bleachers at various football fields or gyms!

 

I am looking forward to a great year!  Happy Reading!
