II.Travel Industry
   Before I pursued my calling to be a teacher I worked in the travel 
   industry for many years in a variety of positions.  This career gave me 
   opportunities to travel to some of the most beautiful and amazing places 
   in the world.  A few of my favorites are:
   London, England                     Lucerne, Switzerland

III. Hobbies
   When I am not concentrating on school and teaching I like to play 
   volleyball, travel, visit amusement parks to catch the newest   
   rollercoaster and spend time with family and friends.

IV.  My Family
   I come from a large family of four sisters and one brother.  My father is
   a retired principal and lives with my mother in Coshocton, Ohio, where I  
   grew up.  I also lived in Atlanta, Georgia for 11 years and have been in  
   the Dallas/Ft. Worth area now for 8 years.  I do have two children, but 
   they are not human, they are Scottish Fold cats and their names are 
   Noogie and Pickles!

Mission For The Class

My goal for this year and every year is to ensure that each student is able 
to reach their full potential academically while learning in a safe, 
interactive and structured environment.
