Hello!  I'm entering my 24th year of teaching!  Dang, where did the time go?  This will be my 12th year at Westlake High School.  I have a Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Gallaudet University (1993) and a Master of Science in Deaf Education from McDaniel College (1997).  Since 1998, I have been teaching at Texas School for the Deaf ranging from Preschool to Transitional Program. In addition, I have taught American Sign Language in secondary schools and private organizations. 

American Sign Language is my primary language as I came from a large deaf family (parents, brothers, aunt, cousins, nephews, and nieces) and ASL was the primary communication mode at home.   I grew up in the small town of Woodbridge, Connecticut, and have lived in Austin since 1994. I have two grown children, Trei (23), and Jolé (22).  Trei is Deaf and is a proud member of the 3rd Deaf generation in our family tree.   We have three dogs Bella, Zoe, and Abby.

I am excited to teach your son/daughter American Sign Language and share with them its rich history and culture! 

Go CHAPS!
