    I went to Baylor University where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master of Science in Education. I was a teacher at La Marque High School  then moved to Santa Fe High School. I have been in education for 30 years. I am certified in Technology Application, Social Studies, Journalism, Art, English, Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Driver's Education. I am now a teaching Commercial Photography, Printing and Imaging Technology (Journalism and Newspaper), and Advanced Printing and Imaging Technology (Yearbook I, II and III and Newspaper II).

    I love teaching and preparing the students for their future. I expect the best of my students. Teaching is something I look forward to everyday as well as getting to know my students better.
