Surprise, Surprise after 35 years of teaching fourth grade I have embarked on a new adventure I will be teaching second grade this year and am very excited! I have taught at Brinker for 25 years and Houston for 10 years. I have two sons, Cayden, who is in his 3rd year at Texas State getting a degree in Criminal Justice, and Gavin who is a senior at Lake Highlands. I enjoy playing basketball, softball and volleyball. I also enjoy going to Gavin's NTPA theatre performances. I have been so blessed to work at a school that has incredible students, families, and staff.
