Born and raised in Texas, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in English at the University of Texas at San Antonio. I have been teaching for over 10 years. I am a proud pet parent of Sheldon Bailey Francis Hix, a five year old chihuahua poodle mix. 

From the moment I hit the stage in third grade I was bitten by the bug, a stash of moths living in my costume. As Lady #3, a party goer, in "The Little Matchbox Girl", I enjoyed the attention and accolades from my parents for my one line, "Why, yes I would."

By my sophmore year in high school, I became a student director and continued throughout college. At fifteen, my directoral debut was "Come Back to the 5 & Dime Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean" by Ed Graczyk. In addition to teaching middle school English, I have been a UIL One Act Play director and Impromptu coach for several years, and I am honored and excited to be a part of the Bush Middle School family.
