I am beginning my nineteeth year of teaching science in North East ISD, and my fifth year at Jackson Middle School.  I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching sixth, seventh, and eighth grade, but the enthusiasm and curiosity of teaching sixth graders new to middle school is a particularly rewarding experience.

I graduated from Texas A & M University in 1988 with a degree in Curriculum and Instruction with certification in Life and Earth Science. After graduation, I spent the next twelve years living in five different states while my husband was a Naval submarine officer.  We had a wonderful experience, but it was nice to move back to our home state of Texas!

I have a son, a daughter, and a son-in-law who all attended North East ISD schools, and all graduated from Winston Churchill High School.  My husband is a nuclear engineer at Southwest Research Institute.  

I am looking forward to another wonderful year full of challenges, excitement, and watching my students become life-long learners.
