About The Teacher

I have taught at Alamo Heights since 1974 (YIKES!).  Before that I taught 
for three years in Honolulu.  I earned a B.A. in mathematics from Vanderbilt 
University, received my teaching credentials from the University of Hawaii, 
and have an M.A. from UTSA.  

My husband of 39 years is a civil engineer and AHHS graduate.  We have one 
daughter, Ashley, (also a graduate of AHHS) who  is a civil engineer in 
Nashville.  When not teaching, I enjoy reading, playing golf, piano, and 
bridge...and learning about technology!   As a consultant for the College 
Board, I spent much of the summer teaching week-long institutes for PreAP 
mathematics teachers around the Southwestern United States.  

My schedule is:

Periods 2, 3, 4, 6:  Geometry PreAP
Period 7:  Precalculus

Periods 1,5:  Conference Periods (8:20 - 9:10, 12:55 - 1:45)

Mission For The Class

to leave this course enthusiastic about learning more mathematics!
