I was given the opportunity to start my career as a teacher here. I started as a substitute in 2023, and then hired on as a kindergarten teacher that summer. I have been mentored and shaped to be the best that I can be. I'm still learning and growing every day. I am just extremely thankful for all of the tools that I have been given by Wylie ISD to grow.
I finished my first year of teaching in May of 2024, and received staff member of the month at my campus. I couldn't have done it without those people around me building me up! I'm so grateful to be part of Wylie ISD.
