I am very excited to join the 3rd grade team this year!  I will be teaching ELAR and Social Studies. In case you are wondering, my name is pronounced Door-er-Tee.

I grew up attending Plano schools, then went onto graduate from The University of Texas at Arlington.  I originally graduated with a degree in Communications.  I began my second career as a teacher in 2016 after years of working in corporate management.  Teaching has always been my passion since high school.  However, drawn to the money in the corporate sector I chose that path first.  When money no longer drove me I reflected on what would now bring me happiness.  Remembering back to my high school passion I realized I was a teacher, just at the time it was of adults instead of children.  I began the road to my teaching certification at that point. 

Today I am certified as an EC-6th grade teacher with additional certifications in ESL and GT.  I previously taught second grade for four years.

I'm love being apart of the Little Elm FamiLE!
