Hi Clark Wildcats!

I am glad you're here!  I'm in my 23rd year of teaching in Texas and my 3rd  year at Clark High School.  My daughter, Mia, is a high school junior.  We love to travel.  I'm trying to get to all the MLB stadiums and all the presidential libraries.  Yep, history nerd and baseball fan right here!  Go Rangers!  I also enjoy cooking creatively.  I rarely use a recipe!  I teach a night class at UTD for future teachers.  Mia loves to use crochet, play volleyball, and hang out with friends.  Together, we are active in RTwelve, a mother-daughter service organization.  We also love our dog, Poppi!  

I look forward to learning and growing together this year!
