A little bit about me...
As you enter the 8th grade for what I hope will be your one and only time, I am entering the 8th grade for the 34th time (35th, if I count my own 8th grade year at Hutcheson Jr. High)! I have taught 8th grade English for my entire career (with a few additional odd jobs thrown in here and there), and I absolutely, positively, most definitely LOVE it! I spent my first thirteen years at Workman Jr. High, and have spent the past twenty-one years here at Young.
I grew up here in Arlington, graduating from Arlington High School (Go, Colts!) in '76. I earned a BS in Psychology/Youth Counseling from Texas Wesleyan (Go, Rams!) in Ft. Worth and earned a teaching certificate and later a Master's Degree in Secondary Education from UTA (Go, Mavs!). My husband, Daniel, and I have been married for almost 37 years and have three terrific kids! Our son Aaron teaches Science and coaches at Mansfield High School, and his wife, Abby, works as an Instructional Specialist. They have a beautiful little girl, Saylor Grae. Our son Logan sells insurance in Southlake, and his wife Leeta teaches 8th grade History and coaches at Heritage Middle School in Grapevine. They are expecting their first child in January. Last, but never least, our daughter Caitlin teaches Resource English and coaches at Workman Jr. High! We are very proud parents, indeed!
I am once again looking forward to an amazing school year!!! Please feel free to contact me with any questions concerns, gripes, or praise!!! :)
