This is my 7th year teaching and coaching at Wakeland. I am from Pilot Point and graduated from Oklahoma State University where I received both my B.S. in Secondary Education and M.S. in Educational Technology. I teach AP Human Geography and enjoy hanging out with family, friends, visiting Stillwater, OK when I can (Go Pokes!). I enjoy traveling and went to Europe last summer and several beach trips this summer! For as long as I can remember I have wanted to be a teacher and have always been competitive playing several sports growing up. I am really looking forward to basketball this season!

I am so excited for school this year! I coach basketball and softball and am an inclusion teacher. I graduated from Sam Houston State University with a Master’s in Kinesiology.
I have 10 years of teaching and coaching experience as well as three years of college basketball coaching experience.
My husband, Jakub, and I returned to the US last year after living in the Czech Republic for five years. While living abroad, we had 2 daughters, Scarlett and Charlotte. I am excited to introduce my girls to what it means to be a Texan and what better place than Frisco!

I'm super excited to spend my first year in education teaching Chemistry and coaching at Wakeland this year! I’m a K-12 Frisco ISD graduate and earned a chemistry degree from Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX. I’m an avid reader, enjoy hiking, and am constantly listening to all genres of music. I've spent my whole life around sports as an athlete, spectator, and coach's kid. I'm looking forward to a great season!
