Dyslexia Therapist 

What College(s) Did You Attend?: I graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies Cum Laude. I continued my education and graduated from Texas A&M Commerce with my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction. 

 

Education History:  I have been teaching for 23 years. I’m a certified Dyslexia Therapist. I'm certified to teach grades 1-6, and I have my certification in ESL(English as a second language).  I have taught PACE (Gifted & Talented), 1st, 2nd and 4th grade.  

 

Interests/Hobbies Outside of School:  Spending time with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, as we volunteer and attend church events, reading a good book, writing poems, watching a good movie with my boys, spending time outside, playing football, jogging an adventurous trail, working out, cooking with my boys, spending time with family and friends are just a few things that brings joy to our lives.

Why is the IB PYP program important to you? Huffman’s International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program (PYP) embraces my philosophy of empowering children to develop their inner spirit while teachers give them the tools to develop their whole self in the process. We truly become the facilitators of learning, allowing students to grab hold of what truly clicks in their brain and run with it.  They are able to discover learning at their fingertips while becoming a confident girl or boy with pride in what they have accomplished. I want to be a part of their celebrations and their hiccups. Huffman Hawk teachers not only touch on the academic pieces of learning but also the social aspect as well.  It is a privilege to be a part of a school that combines all of life’s ingredients into a bowl of perseverance, knowledge, and a deep understanding of what it feels like to just be YOU!
