This will be my 43 year of teaching! I am currently in my dream job, teaching Geometry and Algebra at the STEM Academy. The journey to this job at Lee High School has been amazing, the best of times and the worst of times.

I began teaching at Del Valle Middle School (near Austin) in 1979. I was both a year out of Southwest Texas and marriage. We moved to San Antonio where I taught at Pease Middle School (NISD) for 1 year.

I left teaching for 12 years to raise our 3 children. There was one year when I really wanted to teach, so I taught at Garner Middle School. I decided to stay home after that year.

My husband, Charles, got promoted and we moved to Flower Mound (near Dallas). I went back to teaching in 1992 at Milliken Middle School. I was there for six wonderful years.

Charles took a job with Corning, Inc. We moved to the Corning-Elmira, New York area. I taught and was a Math Specialist for five years at Ernie Davis Middle School. We were in Elmira on September 11, 2001, when the towers came down. This is a day I will never forget. Many of my students lost several family members that day.

In 2002 we moved to Albany, because Charles took a job with Fleet Bank (soon to be absorbed by Bank of America). I taught at Waterford-Halfmoon Middle School for the next five years. I loved living in the area, the historical places and baseball parks (especially Yankee field) were incredible!

Charles and I decided to move back to San Antonio to be near our parents in 2007. I joined NEISD as a teacher at Ed White Middle School. After three years there, I came to STEM at Nimitz Middle School. after 7 years of teaching wonderful 6th grade classes, I was offered my dream job, High Scool Honors and GT Geometry. The next year I added Honors Algebra 1 to my classes. I love them all!

This is my 10th year at Lee High School. I am the STEM Geometry teacher and the 9th Grade Algebra 1 teacher. I am thrilled to be here and delighted to work with your students! We are going to have a great year!
