After 19 glorious years in the classroom, I came to Region 10 ESC as an English language arts consultant and later added gifted/talented and advanced academics to my job description. I am an avid reader, kid advocate, thinker, and tea drinker. As a long time member and past president of TCTELA, I look forward to this conference as one of the highlights of my professional learning each year. Ask me about becoming more involved in this organization!
