I am a Spanish teacher and one of the department chairs of LOTE. This is my eleventh year at Clark and my 21st year of teaching in various parts of the country. I am a graduate of Valparaiso University in Northwest Indiana. I am married and have three children, including three Plano Senior HS graduates. I love to travel anywhere I can,  and most recently went to Arizona with my husband for our 25th anniversary. I am also an avid fan of the Mets, who have decided to start playing baseball now that the season is almost over.   

During my time at Clark, I have taught various levels of Spanish, and currently teach Spanish 1 and 3 Honors. Our main goal for language learners in Plano is that they can communicate in the target language, and I love watching my students become more proficient in their speaking and writing in practical and real-life situations.
