I have lived most of my life in the Dallas area, and the last 30 in Plano. I have a husband, a stepdaughter, and three grandchildren. I graduated from East Texas State University which is now Texas A & M Commerce. I have taught at Robinson since 2001 in the English department. My hobbies are reading, gardening, traveling, and watching sports. I love teaching children and helping them to learn to love reading as much as I do.

As a teacher, I want my students to know that I care about them, I want them to be successful, and I will use whatever resources I have to make sure they feel confident and valued in my classroom. I believe that every student can be successful with the right motivation and support from me.
