I feel so blessed to teach first grade at Christian Heritage Academy! I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Texas A & M University with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. I am certified by the State of Texas to teach K-6. This will be my third year to teach first grade at CHA. Prior to teaching first grade, I volunteered and substituted at CHA, taught Preschool, and worked along side my husband at the Palestine Wildcat Golf Course. My husband, Michael and I have three children, Hudson, Hadley, and Caroline Grace. Our family has been a part of the CHA family for over 13 years now! All three children have attended Christian Heritage Academy.
I strive to create a classroom that is loving, positive, and full of grace so that students feel safe to explore and reach their full potential. I desire to meet all students where they are and motivate them to excel in character and academics by encouraging them that they can do hard things when they trust in Jesus and work hard!
