Hello! I teach English I Honors and Humanities at Jasper. This is my second year at Jasper; I moved to Plano from North Carolina, where I taught English for eight years. My passion is writing and helping students in their journey to examine, explain, and defend their learning. My goal is to help each student get to the next level of sucess and gain confidence to take learning risks.

I love to cook with my husband and I enjoy snorkeling, hiking and fly fishing. My favorite sport is soccer - I am a Liverpool fan and my favorite FC Dallas player is Ricardo Pepi! This past summer my husband and I visited our five children in five different states, we met our second grandbaby girl, and we are expecting our third grandbaby girl in February.  We have a dog named 'Hutch' and we often walk in Carpenter Park and on the Bluebonnet Trail. My favorite things about Texas are the walking trails and Tex Mex food!
