This year begins my 15th year teaching and 3rd at SME! After high school, I enlisted in the U.S. Army and spent over eight years between Washington DC, South Carolina, California, Texas, and South Korea as a secretary and later as a medic.  We made Huntsville our home for 22 years before moving to Katy.  I have two daughters and a Siamese cat.  One daughter has blessed me with three amazing grandsons and the other one is serving our country in South Korea with the U.S. Air Force.  I love giraffes and am a NCIS junkie.  When I'm not at school, I love to read, travel, quilt, and hang out with my grandsons.
