My Philosophy:
*Philosophy, as described by Webster, is the love of or the search for wisdom or knowledge. Philosophy is the quest for truth. It will both challenge and contribute to the understanding of one's failth. *The purpose of education is to teach students who they are and what they are intended to become. It is my duty as a teacher to fully train my students, so that they may become not only life long learners, but also, that they may excel in life.

I was born in Oklahoma, but moved to Texas as fast as I could. I was raised primarily in Houston, so that is what I consider my hometown. I was raised by a football/basketball/golfcoach/principal and reading teacher. I am very much into sports and extremely family oriented.

I started out my college years at Midwestern State University back home in Texas. I was Pre-Med for 3 years, but then decided that I wanted to be a teacher more than a Pediatrition.

Why Do I Teach?:
I chose to be a teacher for many reasons. I was raised by two outstanding educators and it's kind of a family tradition. I saw how much my parents impacted the lives of so many children, that I too, wanted to follow in their footsteps and help shape our country's future. I absolutely love every minute of my job and know that I am truly blessed to have a job where I can not only help others, but get to see the fruits of my labor!
