I have been teaching for twenty one years. I graduated from The University of Texas in 1982 with a Bachelor’s degree in Health Education. In 1985 I received my teaching certificate in Health Education and English. My first year of teaching was in Aransas Pass, Texas. Then I moved to El Paso, Texas, and taught at El Paso High School for six years. After teaching ESOL in New Mexico for one year, I returned to Texas and taught English at Canutillo High School for six years. In 1999 I moved to San Antonio, my hometown, and have been at Pat Neff for the past seven years. I have two boys who are in the second and fourth grades. They keep me busy with sports and school activities, but in my free time I like to garden, cook and read.
