I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from  Sam Houston State University.  I was a collegiate track athlete.   I have been in the teaching field for several years.  I first began my career at the elementary level, teaching third grade. After a few years, I made the change from a classroom teacher to an elementary Physical Education teacher.  I taught elementary Physical Education for eleven years.  I am now currently teaching and coaching at the middle school level.  I teach 8th grade Physical Education and coach girls basketball, volleyball and track and field.
