2026-2027 will be my fifth year teaching in Leander ISD and at Wiley MS and 8th year teaching.  I'll be teaching Algebra I Advanced and 8th grade Math, and I will be the Assistant Cheer Coach again.  I'm very excited and looking forward to another year at Wiley. 

My Family

I've been married for 30 years to my husband, Eric whom I met in college.  I have two amazing daughters who both have graduated from Rouse High School.  My oldest, Alyssa, graduated in May from Sam Houston State University and teaches music at an intermediate school in College Station.  She lives in Bryan, TX with her husband, daughter (my first grandchild) and two dogs.  My second daughter, Kyleigh is senior at Texas A&M majoring in Geophysics and minoring in Mathematics.  She is in the Fightin' Texas Aggie Band, the Aggieland Orchestra, the University Symphonic Winds concert band, and Omega Phi Alpha, National Service Sorority.   I also have two dogs, Maggie and Sarge - both of their names are related to Texas A&M.  I spend many weekends in College Station visiting my daughters and attending A&M football games.

My Education

I have a Bachelors of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (aka Education) with a minor in Math Education from Texas A&M, and I have a Masters of Public Administration from Texas A&M - Corpus Christi.

Other Fun Facts

My dad was in the Army and my husband was in the Navy, so I've lived in many different places: Texas, Alaska, Arizona, South Korea, California, Washington D.C., Florida, and Illinois.

I went to high school in Converse, TX (San Antonio area) at Judson high school.  I was on the drill team in high school, played softball from about 2nd grade through my senior year, and I played the piano for a couple of years in high school.

I enjoy photography, scrapbooking, quilting, and sewing, and overall just being creative and crafty.

I love to travel and see new places.  I've been to all 50 states, and I've been to 7 other countries (S. Korea, Canada, Mexico, Portugal, Aruba, Jamaica. and Italy).  

I have a black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do.

My favorite color is purple and my favorite food is fried okra.
