This is my fourteenth year of teaching and my lucky thirteenth here at Baines. I'm an original Longhorn!  My heart is in sixth grade, so all but one of my hears has been with the newbies here at BMS. I am very excited about this new year with new opportunities! I'm married and have three grown sons and one daughter-in-law. My husband and I are proud parents of four dog-daughters. They keep us busy during this empty nest transition time in our life. I love to travel, cook, read, and spend time with family and friends. I'm a life long learner and love learning and sharing new things with my teammates and students.
