I have lived most of my life in the Dallas area, and the last 25 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, travel, and watching sports. I love teaching children and helping them to learn to love reading as much as I do.
