I have been a teacher for 21 years. I grew up in Texas where my relatives still live. I have been married to my husband, Jeff, for 27 years. We have three grown children.
 
I enjoy international food, travel, and singing. I have traveled to China and Hong Kong as well as all over Europe. I did volunteer work in Slovenia and Spain and studied for a summer at the Universidad de Guanajuato in Mexico. I love teaching English Learners!

My name is Ms. Darby. I am one of the English Language (EL) specialists at Wyland. I have been teaching for 11 years and in this role for 9 years. I support and teach English to students who speak a first language other than English. I love working with our diverse group of students at Wyland! Prior to teaching EL, I taught 2nd grade at Marvin Elementary and 3rd grade in the Hazelwood School District. Teaching is my passion!
In my free time, I spend lots of time with my daughters, Avery and Noel. We love to go to the park and travel!

This is my fifth year teaching in the Ritenour School District and my third year as a Wyland Dolphin! My first two years were spent with middle and high school students at the International Welcome Center (IWC). But, I love my current position working with Kinder and first-grade English language learners (ELLs). I’ve been a teacher for 18 years and have 10 years experience as an English language specialist. Prior to working exclusively with ELLs, I taught first grade both in Phoenix, AZ and Omaha, NE. 

I’m a St. Louis County native, and after a long time away I decided to move back to the area to be closer to family. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my fur babies, two dogs and two cats. I also enjoy listening to audiobooks and attending live performances with my loved ones.
