I graduated in the top 3% from Dulles High School after attending Kindergarten through 12th grade all right here at Fort Bend ISD schools.  I have a Bachelor of Arts in Government from the University of Texas at Austin where I also minored in History. I am certified to teach grades 6-12 social studies which includes government, history, economics, and geography. This is my 16th year teaching in FBISD where I have taught both middle school and high school, served as a Department Head, Professional Learning Lead, and Curriculum Writer. This is my first year at Fort Settlement Middle School.  I am married and have a blended family with 5 wonderful kids  Three of them still attend Fort Bend ISD schools, one attends Texas A& M University, and one attends Rice University.  My husband is also a teacher and coach at Elkins High School.   In my "spare" time, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching college football, cheering on the Longhorns, Aggies, Buckeyes, Owls, and Texans, watching movies, eating, and I love to run too.  I am looking forward to this school year and whatever challenges we will face.
