Hello my fellow Manvel Mavericks!

I am super excited to be teaching at Manvel High School as this will be my first year joining the Hoka Hey Nation! This will be my 8th year of teaching high school math.

Every year has had it's share of challenges and this year is no different but we will get through them together. For the 2022-2023 school year, I have the pleasure of teaching Pre-Calculus (APA and Regular) and AP National Merit Review.

I am a proud native of Belzoni, Mississippi where I graduated from Mississippi Valley State University with a B.S. in Mathematics. I met my husband, Jacob Smith (also an MHS Educator) in Mississippi and we have been married for 18 years with two beautiful children - Jacob, 21 and Christina, 15.

Before moving to Texas in 2014, we resided in Maryland for 10+ years where I worked for the Department of Navy as an Operations Research Analyst. During that time I earned a M.S. degree in Technical Management at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD.

I am grateful for the opportunity to teach your children and hopeful that we, working as a collaborative team, can ensure ALL our students achieve success!
