I have loved education since the second grade when I was able to help a friend with a math assignment. In high school and college, I held jobs teaching, tutoring and mentoring. When working on my degree at MSU, I fell in love with the campus, atmosphere, and their tight knit community of helpful and caring staff and faculty. This made such an impression that I wanted to return once I received my master's degree from UNT. I am still drawn to the community feel of the dedicated faculty and campus. I also love and feel very privileged to teach our population of eager, excited, and talented students from this area as well as our other national and international students. Personally, I am a wife to my better half for over 30 years and have three children. They are a source of strength and love that I use to serve others. Go Mustangs!
