About me:
Even though I was born and raised in the big city of San Antonio, I have found living in the country at Lake Cooper has been a peaceful change for me. Well, I still have several children of the female variety at home so it isn't always that peaceful! I do love living in this area, though, and especially love teaching in Newcastle. At home, I still have two beautiful daughters, Briana, high school junior extaordinare (16), and Keelie Marie, fifth grader (10), and my wonderful husband, K.C. (with an undisclosed age). K.C. spends his days taking care of the public works department for the citizens of Olney; quite noble if I do say so myself. Both our boys and eldest daughter have left the nest for greater independence. Justin, a diesel mechanic, truck driver and volunteer fireman, lives with his family, Lori, Zack, and Casey Kyle, in Marshall, TX . Brad, our youngest son, a teacher and coach for Petrolia ISD, and his wife Kristen and daughter, Hayden, are living in Wichita Falls. Our eldest daughter, Elyse, works and goes to MSU, also aspiring to be a teacher.

I graduated from Midwestern State University, myself, in December 2000 (the day after my thirtieth birthday!) with a bachelor of science in biology and minor in chemistry. SBEC graciously followed that with a composite science certification which means the state of Texas allows me to teach 6th through 12th grade science without too many repercussions. Since then I have also worked to obtain a Masters of Arts in Secondary Science Education with an emphasis in biology from Western Governor's University. This year I will be teaching 6th and 7th grade science, Integrated Physics and Chemistry (to 8th graders), Biology (9th), Physics (10th), Chemistry (11th graders) & dual credit Anatomy and Physiology (12th). The reason I chose to teach science is because it was always my favorite subject in school (and it still is!!). I mean, really, how many classes can you catch things on fire and call it part of the curriculum?

Here's to another great year of science!
