It is my pleasure to welcome you and your child to first grade! This will be a wonderful year full of learning and fun, not to mention, an incredible year of change. You will be amazed as you watch your child bloom as a friend, reader, writer, mathematician, scientist, thinker, and so much more!

I look forward to working with you and your child this school year. I am excited by the anticipation of the countless milestones we will reach as a class and those your child will reach as an individual. Now, I will tell you a little about myself.

I am married to my wonderful husband, Scott. We have a son (Brodie) who is in the seventh grade; a daughter (Makenna) who is in fourth grade; and a daughter (Rachel) who is in third grade. They take up most of my free time, but some hobbies that I enjoy are crafting, raising goats, and reading.

I have lived in Tehachapi for 6 years. I grew up in Bakersfield. I am the middle child of three girls in my family. My older sister lives in Colorado with my oldest nephew and niece, and she is a realtor. My younger sister lives in Bakersfield with my youngest niece and nephew, and she is an accountant.

This will be my fifth year teaching; fourth year teaching first grade. Five years ago, I taught fourth grade here at Tompkins. I am really enjoying teaching first grade! It is my mission to instill a love for learning in my students. I attempt to teach with a passion for my subject so that my students develop a desire to become life-long learners.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. It is so important to keep communication open between us, and I would love to talk to you whenever you feel the need. I look forward to a great year together!
