I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I have worked at the University of Texas Health Science Center in the Human Leukocyte Antigen lab in the Organ Transplant Department. I have twelve years' experience teaching preschool-age children. I  have taught second grade for three years and this will be my eighteenth year teaching third grade. I am married and  have three grown children. As a family, we enjoy camping and traveling. My family also loves to sail. We have sailed off the Texas coast and a couple of summers we were fortunate enough to sail the British Virgin Islands.  My husband and I just bought an Airstream and we will spend three weeks this summer traveling around the country visiting National Parks.  I am very excited to share your children with you this year. I look forward to the new year and its challenges .
