 * What will you be teaching this year? //I will be teaching 3 sect////ions of World History, 2 sections of World History Honors, and 1 lonely section of US History. I am the 10th grade medical/legal team leader, and will be the Academy Administrative Grunt (I mean Intern) this year.//
 * Are you a new teacher or do you have previous experience (where and for how long)? //This is my 14th year as a classroom teacher. I was fortunate to be a stay at home mom with my 3 children until the oldest was in high school and the others were in middle school. I taught one year at Carter Junior High in Arlington ISD, 6 years at Nimitz and 6 years at The Academy.//
 * What brought you to the Academy? //I had no understanding of what The Academy was all about until I served on a district committee with John Brown (the first Academy Principal). After talking with him and realizing what the opportunities were as a teacher at The Academy, I applied to come here and was fortunate to be one of the founding teachers. It was very exciting to open a new campus and to watch it grow and evolve into the most incredible place I have ever worked.//
 * Tell us something about yourself - hobbies, fun facts, etc. //I am a great family person. My husband and I have been married for 32 years and have 3 beautiful children. My two boys are Aggie Engineers (Whoop!) and my daughter is a UNT graduate teaching at Crocket Middle School. My two oldest (Daniel and Bethany) are married (not to each other, but to Stephanie and Matt) and I love being a mother-in-law. Michael is still single as he feels his brother set the standard too high with his wife, Stephanie. At this time I have no grandchildren and am being very patient on that subject... I love to cook and think the food network is one of the best things to come along in many years. I kind of go crazy in cooking supply stores and office supply stores...go figure. I read a lot and love to travel. I am a navy brat and lived for 3 years in the Philippine Islands. I don't know many strangers and will probably be bothering you with co////nversation at some point. Oh yeah, I love Las Vegas...oops.//
 * What would you like to learn over the next four days? You can add to this question as the week progresses. //I would love to learn all// //I can about all of you..Especially Katie as she will be on my team this year.// //Welcome to The Academy and may I wish you a great year.//
