OREGON

I was born in the big state of Texas on July 16. I went to school at Edwin J. Kiest Elementary, W. H. Gaston Jr. High and graduated from Bryan Adams High School.

I moved to the great state of Oregon in 1990 where I lived for eight years, loving every minute of it. There I saw many beautiful, and new kinds of plants. The animals are abundant, especially on the trails. The invertebrates on the beach were so cool to watch, and many vertebrates were on the trails. It is so much fun in Oregon. I went to school at Chemeketa Community College where I earned my Associate of Arts Degree. I then moved to LaGrande, Oregon where I went to school at Eastern Oregon University earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Multidisciplinary Studies. I have a degree in English, and Bilingual Education, but my certification in education came from Texas Women's University. My certification is K-8.

I began my teaching career in Plano at Harrington Elementary School where I taught 5th grade for seven years, 4th grade for one year, then moved to WylieISD. This is my fourth year teaching in Wylie, and I’m still at Davis Intermediate. My first year I taught 5th grade Language and Social Studies, then moved rooms and taught 5th grade Advanced Math and Science, and yes, I changed rooms again. Last year I taught 6th grade science and social studies, and loved it!! This year, you guessed it, I'm moving again!! I am going back to fifth grade to teach science.

My short term goal is to teach sixth grade again and move up to seventh grade, eventually reaching my long term goal of retiring from the seventh grade in the great state of Oregon.

Hobbies

One of my favorite hobbies is stargazing! I slept outside one night in Oregon and saw 7 meteors, which you might refer to them as "shooting stars."
I also love to read! Yes, read! It makes you smart! I read 6 books this summer!
I love to travel during the summer, mostly to Oregon, then go camping and hiking in the mountains.
I enjoy eating on a patio when it's cool, in Oregon, that would be every night!!
I love drinking a nice cup of coffee in the morning while reading on the patio. My favorite coffee house is Dutch Brothers...yes, in Oregon!! But I do like Starbucks as well, but only when I'm in Texas!!
And this is really a lot of fun, just people watch! I love to watch people sipping on my coffee and sometimes laughing!!!
