I was born and raised in Dallas.  I originally went to college to study Dental Hygiene and graduated from Baylor College of Dentistry with a Bachelor of Science degree.  After practicing dental hygiene for 16 years I made a decision to become a teacher.  This will start my 17th year as an educator.  Once my passion for teaching grew, I went back to school at University of Texas at Arlington and earned my Master of Education degree.  I am married to my husband, Jeff, and we have 3 children.  Our youngest son will soon graduate from the University of Houston.  We live locally in Murphy, only 5 minutes from our school.  In my spare time I enjoy spending time training and spoiling our two miniature dachshunds and my husband and I both enjoy gardening.  I teach Health Science, which includes courses for students with an interest in pursuing a career in the medical field.  I love inspiring my students about medical and dental fields and help students apply to the Clinicals program at PESH.  I look forward to working with you and your son or daughterl.  Please let me know if I can help you in any way.
