Hello!  This is my 14th year as a teacher and my 14th year teaching at Lopez.  I grew up in southern California and a very small town in northern Minnesota.  I attended St. Olaf College and Grand Canyon University.  I am a member of the Texas Art Educator's Association and a Premier Distinction coach with the National Speech & Debate Association.  I have lived down the street since 2000.  I have a daughter who attends UTSA and a son who attends UT Austin.
