Hello to everyone!   Here is a little about myself... I grew up in Nebraska in a family of five sisters and 2 brothers.  Most of my siblings still live there but in 2002 I decides to move to Texas to escape the COLD winters.  I accepted a sciece job at Carpenter (summer 2002) and have taught here for 18 years.  I have enjoyed all of the many student and teacher relationships that I have built here at Carpenter.   I also have a dog named Maggie that I adore.  She keeps me entertained and is a very loyal fur friends.  In my spare time, I enjoy watching sports,  movies, cooking (new recipes) and talking to family on the phone.  I am looking forward to meeting you!
