Travel the World and Learn

That What We Have in Common

Is Far Greater Than How We Differ

The study of geography is about more than just memorizing places on a map. It's about understanding the complexity of our world, appreciating the diversity of cultures that exists across continents. And in the end, its about using all that knowledge to help bridge divides and bring people together. 

~ Barack Obama

Human Geography students might explore just about anything having to do with cultural geography, languages, religions, development, urbanization – and patterns of how they impact and spread across different lands.  

A friend stated, “It’s an increase of geographic literacy, which I think helps us to better understand and interact with the world.”

So ~ Why Geography?

I have always enjoyed traveling and learning about new places and people.  So when I was able to complete my education geography was a perfect fit.  

Who am I?  Real simple, I am a down to earth person who treats the world and those that occupy its space as significant.  I teach because I love to see my students make connections with concepts they might not have ever considered.  I graduated from University of Texas at San Antonio a few years ago. I have exclusively taught Geography (7 years APHG, 11 years Pre-AP & 3 years of World Geography) consecutive.

I have a wonderful family.  My husband and I travel as often as possible and are almost empty nesters.
