I currently teach 6th grade Language Arts, and it's my 37th 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. Little Miss Brenda Lee is our 13-year-old Chiweenie, and Mia is our 4-year-old Chihuahua-Jack Russell mix.
