I graduated in 1997 from SWT State University with a double major in English and German. I am also certified in Reading and Special Education. I have been a teacher for the last 21 years and have taught my first 3 years  at La Vernia Middle School, 2 years at Corbett Jr. High and 16 years at Samuel Clemens High School.  I am a mother of three successful sons and a grandmother of 6 grandsons and one granddaughter. I  was born in Altena/Westf., Germany. I have lived in Texas since 1985, and I became a United States Citizen in 2017.  I spend my free time with family and friends and have a passion  for swimming, running and cycling.  I enjoy teaching and building good relationships with my students.
