About The Teacher

   Thank you for letting me be a part of your lives this year.  Teaching is 
such a rewarding career and I truly enjoy making a difference. Here is little 
bit of information about me.  
   I was born in Georgia, but I got here as fast as a could. I grew 
up in Arlington, but I've lived in the Austin Area now for almost 20 years. I 
still keep in contact with my childhood friends.  I value friends and 
family.  I'm an only child. My folks are very special to me, and I do many 
things with them. I have a very smart and adorable miniature dachshund 
named "Jack."  He is turning five this year, and he's brought lots of 
excitement to my life.  I love to travel.  My folks and I have been to 42 
states.  I love experiencing new areas, and meeting new people.  My goal is 
to travel to all 50 states, and to start my travels overseas.  Other 
interests I have are:  shopping, boating, antiquing, going to the movies, 
playing tennis, golfing, riding my bike, spending time with family and 
friends, playing the piano and the guitar. 
     I've been at Forest Creek from the very beginning.  I've been here for 
15 years!  I felt very honored to be chosen to help open the school. This 
will be my 18th year of teaching.  I've taught 2nd grade for 16 years.I love 
it! I am certified to teach TAG, ESL and ART. I graduated from UCF -
University Of Central Florida with honors. I designed  a resource book about 
Manatees that was donated to their library.  Some awards that I'm proud of is 
being Nominated for "Teacher of the Year" from our campus, honored as "Who's 
Who Of American Teachers," and nominated as "Teacher of the 
Month" through Applebees through the years. I've been trained in many areas 
and very proud of all of my accomplishments as a teacher.
    I'm looking forward to a "Splashing New Year!"
