I was raised right here in San Antonio and am a graduate of NEISD so I'm excited that I get to teach for this amazing district.  After graduating from high school, I went to Baylor University in Waco, Texas before I moved back to San Antonio to work as an athletic trainer.  I did that for many years before my husband, who was also raised here in San Antonio, and I began adopting our children.  When I became a mom, I decided that it was time to go into the classroom full time instead of working so many hours outside of the school day.  Using my degree in Biology from Baylor, I began teaching science.  Most of the time, including this year, I have been privileged to teach Biology- my degree field.  This is now my 18th year in public education.  I absolutely love life sciences and believe that my background in sports medicine gives me a great insight into how science will impact everyone's lives.  Whether that looks like them being an athlete or just dealing with the aches and pains of getting older, I want my students to understand more of the world around them especially their body systems and how they can care for themselves and their families.  I look forward to teaching your student!
