At a very young age I knew I wanted to be a teacher. It has been a love and passion of mine for 22 years. When I was fresh out of college, I taught 8th Grade Reading and Writing. I loved my 8th graders, but the doors were opened that summer, and I began my elementary career in Jefferson, Texas, teaching 3rd grade. Over the years, I've moved to a few districts and positions, and have taught reading and math in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. It is my joy to see my students become engaged and love learning in my classroom! I am blessed with a beautiful family. I have been married for 21 years to George Dixon who is a teacher at Ingram Middle School, and we have two daughters, Anna and Kate. Anna is a senior at Ingram Tom Moore High School and Kate is an 8th grader at Ingram Middle School. We love being a part of the Brave and Warrior family!
