This year starts my 26th year of teaching, but only my 7th at Ed White. Twenty-four of those years have been at middle school, the other two Roosevelt High School. I am a member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of '88, and received my Master of Education from Texas A&M University in 1991. I love Aggie Football (win or lose), and will always find a way to watch the Arsenal Gunners (EPL), New Zealand All Blacks (Rugby), and F1 Racing. I love to travel, so the COVID-19 pandemic has been tough in that respect (but my yard looks GREAT!).

My husband is a metoeorolgist with the National Weather Service, and I have two daughters (an ER nurse and a historian), a son-in-law, 2 cats, 4 grand-cats, and a granddaughter!
