I graduated with a bachelor’s degree from Texas Woman’s University. I have been teaching for over 20 years. I hold a Texas Teaching Certification in the areas of general education 1-8 grades and Pre-K thru 12th grade Special Education. Math is my favorite subject. I have two daughters, ages 19 and 16. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and watching my daughter play softball.

I joined Best Brains in 2018 and have been a high school math and computer science teacher since 2013. I hold both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Texas A&M University–Commerce. As a parent of three, I’m passionate about creating a supportive learning environment where every student can thrive and reach their full potential!

With seven years of teaching experience, my work in the classroom is driven by a genuine love for helping students learn and grow. As a Montessori Certified teacher, I bring a hands‑on, student‑centered approach to both Math and English. Creating joyful, engaging learning experiences is something I truly value. I’m looking forward to a wonderful year ahead — it’s going to be GREAT!

With 24 years of experience as an elementary school teacher, my career has been dedicated to supporting young learners. I currently serve as an Instructional Support Specialist in Plano ISD. My journey in education began at Alabama State University, where I earned my degree in Early Childhood Education in 2000. Teaching remains my passion, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with your child!

As a Special Education teacher at a Little Elm ISD school, I bring a broad range of expertise with certifications in EC-6, Special Education, and ESL. My passion lies in meeting every student where they are and helping them build the skills they need to thrive. I look forward to making a meaningful impact in Math and English, and watching each student grow in both ability and confidence!

With a Bachelor's Degree from Indiana State University and a Master of Science in Reading and Literacy from Walden University, I bring 25 years of elementary teaching experience across all K-5 grades to Best Brains. I currently serve as a Math and Reading Specialist in Plano ISD. In my free time, I enjoy movies, traveling, and spending time with my husband and our two beautiful kids. Educating young minds and helping them grow into well-rounded, successful individuals is what I love most about being an educator!

Bringing over 20 years of experience in elementary and Montessori education, I have dedicated my career to nurturing young minds and building strong foundations for lifelong learning. I completed my schooling and graduated from Karachi, Pakistan, with a focus on early childhood psychology — a background that deeply shapes my approach to teaching. I am excited to bring my passion and expertise to every student at Best Brains, helping them grow and excel in a supportive learning environment. In my personal time, I enjoy reading, cooking for family and friends, and exploring new places through travel.

Having worked as a Math and English teacher for over 10 years across both public and private institutions, I bring a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for helping students excel academically. My goal is to empower every child with the skills and confidence they need to thrive academically and beyond. When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my family, discovering new restaurants, and expressing my creative side through art and crafts!
