I grew up in Sachse, Texas and attended North Garland High School in Garland, Texas. I went to college at Richland Community College in Richardson, Texas and then went on to attend Roosevelt University in Chicago, Illinois.

I earned an Associates degree in Arts and Science at Richland Community College and then earned a Bachelors Degree in Education at Roosevelt University. I have a certificate in Mathematics and Special Education.

I love to use technology in the classroom. For the last couple years I have tried to learn EVERYTHING Google. In 2017,  I was priveledged to be a presenter at the Region 10 Tech Conference on Differentiating in the Classroom using Google Forms. I attended the amazing TI Calculator Conference in 2018 and another TI Calculator PD at Region 8 in 2023. 

I am married to Michael Anthony, who teaches Science at Paris High School. We have been married for 10 years. We both have 4 kids each. They are all grown and out of the house. We have 7 grandchildren that we try to see as much as possible. 

This year we adopted one of our granddaughters, so we now have a toddler in our home.

I like to read, play the piano, and spend time with my grandkids. My husband and I like to go fishing and watch the Dallas Cowboys.
