I am the Culinary Arts teacher here at PESH and this is my 21th year teaching at PISD. I coach SkillsUSA and FCCLA. Our students consistently win District and then on to the State Competitions. We have won Nationals 4 times and look for a great year this coming year! Right out of Cornell I worked as restaurant manager for the Westin International Hotels, I've owned and operated a nail salon in Tulsa,OK, owned and operated a promotional advertising business and ran a family business before starting my second teaching career in Plano. I live in Greenville, driving into Plano each day.
