Get to know the teacher:

What I like to do: spend time with my family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, read "cozy mysteries,"📚, zip-line, kayak🛶, cross-stitch, walk 🐾🐶, ride a bicycle 🚴‍♀️, practice languages💬, learn languages, try new foods😋, attend world language and teaching conferences,  and learn about technology I can use with students in the classroom 👩‍💻.

What bothers me:  laziness , refusing to try.

4 Quotes I like:

• “I expect nothing less than my very best in everything I do.” — Mr. A. Witherspoon.

• “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” -– Nelson Mandela

• “Never make fun of someone who speaks broken English. It means they know another language.” -- H. Jackson Brown, Jr. 

• "There is too much hurt in this world for us to hate each other." ---Mr. E. "Trey" Rawls ☮️

Favorite foods and drinks:  chicken or shrimp alfredo 🍲, ramen 🍜,  🍕 nachos, buffalo wings, salads, Hershey’s 🍫, Heath toffee, coffee ☕tea.   

My strengths: believing in my students, seeing the best in them, learning new tech tips to share, and helping people learn how to study.  I happily teach ALL of my students. I accept my students for who YOU are, and I hope to help you  be as successful as possible. We are a beautiful bag of Skittles — different flavors, but all part of the same team.  

Music 🎧:  I listen to a lot of different styles:  80s, 90s, EDM, La Kueva, the Blend, Radio Margaritaville, BPM, Chill.... My family and I attended the Weird Al Yankovic concert in 2015 at the CNU Ferguson Center for the Arts. My husband and I saw Jimmy Buffett with our daughter in July 2019, and he and I went again in 2022. My husband and I saw Matchbox 20 and Matt Nathanson this summer.

A funny quirk: I am completely comfortable in a crowded pep rally with my students and colleagues. I freeze/panic a bit when I walk into a mall or an amusement park. I was thrilled to try a zip line in Pigeon Forge, but I get nervous when boarding a roller coaster.

I sponsor a club:  Patriot Games (our board and card game club)  🎲  🎴  🐉
