About Me

I am a native Houstonian and have lived here all of my life.

I attended the University of Houston where I received my BA in History.  This is my fifth year teaching World Cultures in Houston ISD.   I taught at Johnston Middle School for four years before coming to The Rice School. 

I have a very busy life at home with my husband and our two sons Daniel and Wyatt.  Daniel is almost 9 years old and Wyatt is almost 3.  We spend our time as a family doing typical boy stuff like watching baseball games, going to the park, and riding bikes.  When I get some time alone I like to curl up with a good book.
