I will be teaching Geometry and Honors Geometry on the 3rd floor. This is my 2nd year at the Academy, but my 8th year to teach. I spent 2 years with Fort Worth ISD before coming to Irving ISD. I left the district for 2 years to attend graduate school full time, the first year, and taught for a year in Coppell ISD while waiting for an opening here at the Academy. I knew about the Academy's concept from my time with the district and felt it would be a good match for me. So far I have been right ! ! ! I have a 20 month old son, Noah Joseph, and am expecting my second son, Luke Anthony, within the month. I quilt and needlepoint. I am a Sudoku junkie. I want to fine-tune my understanding of the Academy's mission and add to my technology knowledge-base.
 * What will you be teaching this year?
 * Are you a new teacher or do you have previous experience (where and for how long)?
 * What brought you to the Academy?
 * Tell us something about yourself - hobbies, fun facts, etc.
 * What would you like to learn over the next four days? You can add to this question as the week progresses.

Sung to the tune of “Old MacDonald” (insert E I, E I, O as needed)
 * Welcome to The Academy**
