Welcome!
This is my 16th year of teaching and coaching. I am starting my 3rd year at Jim Ned teaching 6th Grade Regular and Advanced Reading. My teaching and coaching career began at Wylie ISD teaching 7th Grade Regular and Advanced/GT Life-Science. I was there for 12 years teaching/coaching then I went to Abilene High to teach Physics and Environmental Systems for 1 year.
I currently coach Junior High Cross Country, Basketball, and High School Track at Jim Ned.
I graduated from Hardin-Simmons University in 2000 with my Bachelors and attained a Masters in Education in 2005. I was fortunate and blessed to have played basketball for Hardin-Simmons University all four years.
I have an amazing husband! We have been married 13 years and we are blessed with 5 beautiful children. Our oldest Hunter is 12 years old, William is 8 years old, Colton is 6 years old, Michaela is 3 years old, and Luke just turned 1.
I am also a professional photographer and own a photography/videography business (Nellie Mae Photography). My family stays pretty busy and the Good Lord has blessed us tremendously!
God is so good! I feel truly blessed to be a part of an incredible school and I am so very excited for this upcoming school year.
Psalm 127:3
Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him.
