About me |
I returned to Queen City ISD as of August 2022 to teach Spanish I full time and I am still so excited and thankful. What a warmly welcoming staff and student body! I retired in May 2016 and then taught Spanish for half a day at Avinger ISD, Avinger, Texas for the next six years. I first taught English and Spanish from 1972-1976 in Texas and then in Mississippi. With my M.S. in counseling, I worked as a mental health therapist and/or caseworker from 1977 until 1998. I taught gang members job skills English and remedial reading for one year (1990-1991) in an inner-city school in Mobile, Alabama. I returned to teaching in 1998 to teach only Spanish. I have taught for Liberty-Eylau ISD, Texas (1½ yrs.), Queen City ISD, Texas (13 yrs.), and Atlanta ISD, Texas (7 yrs.)
I have lived in Mexico, Germany, and Guam, as well as in Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama. While in Europe, I traveled in Great Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, France, and (of course) all over (then) West Germany. While living on the island of Guam, I visited the Philippines, Hawaii, Tinian, and Saipan.
I live in Cass County, Texas, in the family home from my teen years. I am blessed with a brother and a sister (both younger), one nephew, three nieces, and their kiddos. I graduated from Atlanta High School, Atlanta, Texas, in 1968; earned my bachelor's degree in Commerce, Texas, and then completed my master's degree at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. While I have no children of my own, I have been so very lucky to collect a huge family of children and grandchildren of my heart. I like to read, sometimes to crochet, to meet new people, and to play spades, canasta, and dominoes. |
