I was born in San Marcos. I went through the school system here and had some wonderful teachers that inspired me to become a teacher. I graduated from Southwest Texas University and began my teaching career in New Braunfels. Two years later i began teaching in San Marcos. I taught reading at San Marcos Baptist Academy and 1st grade at Wonderland School. I taught at Bowie Elementary 4th and 1st grades, Travis Elementary 5th grade and served as the gifted and talented teacher. Moving to the Lamar 6th grade center, I taught social studies, language arts and gifted classes. Next, I moved to Hernandez Intermediate as the gifted and talented teacher for all of the 4th and 5th grade gifted students in the district. When they reconfigured the schools, I moved to Mendez as the gifted and talented facilitator. Now I'm at Crockett where I started as a student teacher. I'm now starting my forty-fourth year of teaching. Each day of my career has been a blessing and I look forward to having another great year!
