HOLA! I am a native Texan and moved to Houston 22 years ago. This is my 31th year of teaching and love teaching Spanish to my students! My certifications are in Elementary Education, Secondary Government, ESL and Spanish. When I am not busy educating young minds and learning about ways to enrich my classes, I am actively involved with Delta Kappa Gamma, Delta Mu, and belong to the Houston Chapter of Freedom's Foundation of Valley Forge. I also enjoy traveling and showing students the world by leading educational tours with Explorica. I spend my free time with friends, family, and growing orchids!

Bonjour! A native Houstonian, I attended The Kinkaid School and the University of Virginia. After college, I spent a year in France as a Jeune Fille Au Pair. My husband, Jack, and I have three daughters and one son. My daughters are all former Proud Pershing Pandas and my son will be one next year. Currently, I teach 7th and 8th grade French and write novels in my spare time. French is one of the most fun classes at Pershing, and I look forward to teaching your children this lovely and intellectual language.
