Michele Bickham, 2-5 Math/Sci IS
My name is Michele Bickham and I am starting my 17th year in education. I have Louisiana roots with Texas running through my blood. I graduated from Alief Elsik High school and earned my undergrad degree from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and my masters degree from PVAMU. I have taught in Alief ISD, Jefferson Parish (Metairie, La.), St. Tammany Parish (Slidell, La.) and this is my 11th year in CFISD. This is the start of my 6th year as the Math & Science Instructional Specialist at Matzke. My husband Billy is in law enforcement and we have 3 children, Bryce, 14 (will be a freshman at Bridgeland HS), Braden, 11 (will be in 6th grade at Salyards) and a Matzke Wildcat, Brynna,6 (will be in 1st grade). My children’s schedules keep me busy outside of work, but I enjoy time with my family, traveling, and reading.

Emily Weiman, Deaf PPCD Teacher, Lead DE Teacher
Howdy! I’m Emily Weiman and I am the Oral PPCD teacher for Deaf Education. I have been teaching for 6 years in the Deaf Education setting. I got my Bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies at Texas A&M University. My passion has always been working with kids and helping them become all that they can be. My husband and I have a beautiful son who just turned 1 year over the summer. My all-time favorite thing to do is spend time with my family and watching my son grow.

Jessica Torres, PreK Para and Title 1 Para
I was born in Prosser, WA and moved to this wonderful city of Houston at the age of seven. I'm married to an amazing husband, Jose, for 12 years now and we have three beautiful kids. Angela 8, Valerie 6 and Andres 5 and they all attend Matzke. In my spare time I love to go to the movies with my kids, travel and most of all love hanging out with my family and creating lots of fun memories together. This will be my first year as a pre-k para and I'm looking forward to working with all the Matzke staff and kids.
