About The Teacher

     This is my eighth year in Friendswood ISD, and I am very excited to be 
teaching at Windsong!
     I graduated from the University of Houston-Clear Lake in 1995 with a 
Bachelor of Science degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and am certified 
to teach grades 1 through 8.  I taught fifth grade for seven years in 
neighboring districts before coming to Friendswood.  I worked with third 
grade students during my student teaching and have experience teaching 
special education, at-risk, dyslexia, and gifted and talented students.
     I have two children.  My son, Kevin, is in the twelfth grade at 
Friendswood High School, and my son, Brian, is in the ninth grade 
at Friendswood High School. 
     My hobbies include reading, travelling, running, swimming, and 
cycling.  I am currently training for the Houston Half-Marathon in January.    
I LOVE teaching and spending time with my kids!
     I am looking forward to a great year at Windsong!

Mission For The Class

     My goal is to provide a warm, yet challenging environment where all 
students can learn and experience success.  My focus is on 
problem-solving and critical/creative thinking with an emphasis on 
hands-on learning.  I have high expectations for my students and 
encourage them to come to class every day prepared and ready to do 
their very best!
