About the teacher: Howdy! I am blessed to have been married to my wonderful
husband for 29 years. We have two grown children. Our daughter and son-in-law
live in East Asia where they share their passion of faith with international students.
We are excited to have our son living close working as a petroleum engineer with
Anadarko.
I graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Special Education and Math. Since our
entire family are A&M graduates, we all enjoy supporting everything maroon! God
has taken our family worldwide through the years where I have taught in private,
public, and international schools. The Lord has given me the gift of teaching and I
enjoy sharing that gift to grow the minds of children, both academically and
spiritually. I am thankful to have found a home at Legacy and am thrilled to be
working in an environment that honors the Lord!
