About The Teacher

This is my 26th year teaching Kindergarten at Brushy Creek! I have
also taught first grade in Florida and Music in New York.  I like 
teaching Kindergarten since it gives me the opportunity to give 
students a strong foundation for learning and life. 


I was born and raised in Ossining, New York and graduated from TCU. 
I've visited India several times with my husband,Prakash, who was born 
there, and lived in Hong Kong for a while.  We have two 
children. Amol just finished his degree in Business 
Management at UTA, after winning first place in the Food and Wine 
Foundation's Eighth Annual Stephan Pyles Culinary Scholarship Cookoff and 
working as a line cook. Mallika is a UT graduate in French and History and is 
working as a fraud investigator.  

 I like to read, exercise and garden with native plants.  My husband and I 
like to walk together and watch movies. Someday I would like 
to visit Russia.  I am taking care of a turtle that is Mallika's and a 
bearded dragon that is Amol's. My colleagues voted me Brushy Creek's Teacher 
of the Year.
