I am a native West Texan and a graduate of Texas Tech University. My husband and I have been happily married for 39 years. We have two beautiful daughters and four awesome grandchildren. I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, outdoor activities and riding my motorcycle.

I have been blessed with the opportunity of teaching students in grades 2^nd through 6^th for the last 21 years. While I enjoyed teaching math and science, I love teaching P.E.. I enjoy the fast pace and watching the excitement in my student’s faces as they learn a new skill or realize that they can accomplish a new task. My goal as a P.E. teacher is to educate my students about the importance of living a healthy lifestyle through staying active and making healthy food choices. I introduce a large variety of activities, games and lead-up sports so that students may find something that they personally enjoy and thus will be more likely to continue with throughout their life. I find great joy in helping the youth of today become healthy, productive citizens of tomorrow.
