I currently teach 6th grade Language Arts, and it's my 38th year of teaching.  Middle school is my favorite place to teach, and I've been at Murphy since it opened in 2002.  I also taught at Shepherd Elementary and Armstrong Middle School. I have taught middle school in New York, Nevada, and Texas.  

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Bill, for 35 years and we have one son, Adam.  Adam is married to his beautiful wife, Kristal.  We have two dogs. Rosel, our one-year-old Chihuahua Miniature Schnouzer mix, and Mia is our 5-year-old Chihuahua-Jack Russell mix.
