I graduated from Kirbyville High School in 1996 and from SHSU in 2000. I spent 3 years in Manhattan, Kansas working on my Master of Science Degree in Agronomy at Kansas State University. I am still working on finishing my thesis corrections while juggling my career, a husband, a home and two babies. I have 4 years of prior public school teaching experience,and I was a crop science laboratory instructor at K-State. This is what I hope to be my first of many years at MHS.

I have a wonderful husband of three years. He served in the United States Army for 3 years and graduated from Kansas State University with a degree in Landscape Architecture & Community Planning. He is employed by Marquise Pools in The Woodlands.

My son, nicknamed 'Jack' was born February 9, 2006, and my life has not been the same since. His favorite toy is his daddy's 1953 Farmall Cub.

My daughter, nicknamed 'Cate' was born February 23, 2007.

Bug is our 4 year old female yellow lab. She is a very loving dog and allows my son to climb all over her without getting the least bit upset. She is very mild mannered and loves attention (like any lab I have ever met!). She loves positive reinforcement & we often call her Doctor Bug because she is so smart!! (She really likes that!!!) :)

Our male lab, golden retriever mix (just guessing) was full grown when we adopted him on February 10, 2003 from the Harris County Pound. He is a gentle dog, but isn't a fan of our son's rough displays of affection. My husband and I enjoy talking for Buster and reminiscing about time he spent on the streets of Houston. :)
