Hi! This is my 32nd year working in Education. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Secondary Education from Texas Christian University. I also have a Master's Degree in Education Administration from Texas Woman's University.

I started my career by teaching middle school science here in Fort Worth Independent School District. I left public education to work at my Alma Mater, TCU, as an Academic Advisor. When I returned to FWISD, I worked as a Secondary Science Specialist. I enjoyed traveling to High Schools helping Science Teachers. However, my love for art led me to become an Art teacher in 2011. This is my fourth year at WLI.

When I am not teaching, I spend time with my family. I have been married for 28 years to my college sweetheart. We have a wonderful son who lives in Austin, Texas. When we are not visiting him, we spend time at home with our beautiful rescue German Shepherd, Ziva.

The mission of the District’s Art Education Department is to provide a rigorous, comprehensive, and quality Art Education Program for all students through a partnership of educators, parents, and business, cultural and community leaders. Every child can learn and be successful, creative, and expressive through the Visual Arts. Art is vital and important, and it provides a vision of excellence and achievement. Resources and services will be provided to promote strong Visual Arts Programs in the schools with a commitment to the following:
