STEPHEN F. AUSTIN

This will be my 8^th year with Dayton ISD and all 7 years have been at Stephen F. Austin Elementary.  The first 5 years with the district I was an aide.  My first year with the district I was an aide in Intervention, my 2^nd year I was the art aide, and the last 3 years I was the aide in the Structure Learning Unit where I learned so much.  This will be my third year as the teacher in the Structured Learning Classroom.

Prior to working for Dayton ISD I worked at a daycare where I was the Director for 9 years.

I am married to my wonderful husband Jason we have been married for 7 years.  We have 3 children between the two of us Logan is 17, Katie is 13, and Michalynn is 11.  I also helped raise my two niece Destianie is 18, and Katrina is 15. Destianie is a Freshmen at Sam Houston State University, Logan is a junior and Katrina is a Sophmore at Dayton High School. Katie is a 7^th grader at Woodrow Wilson Jr. High and Michalynn is a 4^th grader at Kimmie Brown Elementary.  We have two boxers Layla and Diesel and a Catahoula Leopard named Buddy.

During hunting season we are at the deerlease every chance we get.  During the summer we go on vacation and take the kids to different places. I love going to historical sites and reading everything.
