Teacher Bio

Hello!  I am thrilled to be here at RMS! I have been working with families for just about 21 years. 

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. I am so happy that we decided to move to Western North Carolina 22 years ago.  I have two grown daughters who are happily living their own adventures.    I love animals and enjoy caring for my horses, dogs, cats, budgies and chickens.  

Please feel free to contact me through email or by phone.
