Welcome to my web page!!! Let me start by saying that I feel truly
blessed to have the opportunity to work at such an amazing school, in such
an involved community, and with such dedicated and intelligent teachers and
staff. At the risk of sounding boastful, I also think I have the best
students in the world!!
I've lost track, but I think I've been an educator for about 19 years
now. I began my career in Pflugerville, where I spent my first two years
teaching 4th grade. At this point, I moved to San Antonio and worked in
Comal ISD in Bulverde (beautiful country!)as a K-6th Gifted and Talented
teacher (TAG.) I enjoyed the creativity this position allowed me as well as
the facinating curriculum! During my 9 years there I also taught in 3/4 and
4/5 multi-age classrooms. I sat on the bench for a couple of years when my
boys were babies, and when I returned to work I scored this perfect job at
Fern Bluff where I have been teaching for 9 years.
I love teaching all subjects, but being a 4th grade teacher for the last
10 years, I have rekindled my love for writing. I also love sharing my
interest in children's literature with my students (and any other kids that
will listen). My goal above all else is to make learning fun for my
students, and to help foster life-long learners.
On a more personal note, I have been married for 19 years to Joey
Strmiska, and we have two chips off the ole block, named Hayden (9th grade)
and Heath (6th grade). We all are very active in many sports which change
with each season. When I'm not cheering on the boys, I enjoy baking,
gardening, sewing, decorating my home, writing, spending time with
friends,and of course...shopping!
