            I was born and raised in El Paso and received my teaching 
degree from UTEP after raising two daughters.  I taught third grade for 
seven years with the Ysleta district before moving to New Mexico.  While we 
lived in New Mexico, I taught for 6 years in a small district in the Jemez 
Valley.  I worked with students who lived on the Jemez Pueblo, others who 
lived in the small rural community of Ponderosa, and students who lived in 
Los Alamos.  I then transferred to the Rio Rancho school district (the first 
Charter district in New Mexico).  I taught there for three years before my 
husband and I decided to move to Austin to be closer to our daughters and 
grandchildren.
            We have two beautiful daughters, Sherrill (a CPA) and Brenda (an 
attorney).  We have three wonderful grandchildren~ a grandson, Matthew, and 
two granddaughters, Nicole and Kamryn.  Matthew will start his sophomore 
year, Nicole will be in the 4th grade and Kamryn will be in the 2nd grade.  
            In my spare time, I love spending time with my family and my very 
spoiled kitty, Zoe.  She and I love to lay around, watch tv, and take nice, 
long naps together!   I love to ride bikes, swim, work in the yard, and go 
for long walks early in the morning during the summer months.  My husband, 
Tom, and I love to take day trips around Texas on the weekends too.  Our goal 
is to see every county courthouse in central Texas!!  We still have many, 
many more miles to travel, and many, many more courthouses to see!
