This is my 25th year in elementary education, with 19 in "The Forest," 11 as a fifth grade teacher, two in 2nd grade, and 6 in Special Education.  

Both of my children attended Hidden Forest, and I loved being able to see them each and every day.  Jase is now 25, a graduate of SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY in Georgetown with a concentration in finance and math, and he lives in Colorado working in cybersecurity.  My daughter, Blythe, is 21 and a senior at UTSA where she is working toward a degree in nursing.  She currently wants to be a travel nurse. And, my husband, Michael is a math teacher at Driscoll Middle School.     

We absolutely can not forget our five sweet babies at our house.  We have a new addition, our Min Pin, Augie, who we adopted a few weeks ago.  My sweet Shih Tzu, Finley, is now 3 years old and best friends with one of our three CRAZY cats, Oli.  We also have Loki, who has most definitely earned his name, and our sweet Rexi rounds out the mischevious groups we've acquired over the years.

When we aren't at school, I love gardening, or atleast I TRY to love gardening(the kids in our neighborhood most often find me in my front yard trying to keep everything alive).  Our yard is an ever-changing mix of different flower beds and attempts at attracting the birds around here in our neighborhood.  This year is seeing even more changes for my family, and we are so excited to see where life continues to take us.
