About Me

Educational History:

As a native of Beeville, I attended A.C.

Current Position:

I began teaching at A.C. Jones High School in Beeville ISD August of 1997 and taught continuously, since then, in the Social Studies department.  I have taught every subject in social studies over the years, however, my specialty areas are Economics and Psychology.  I am currently teaching Economics, Macroeconomics AP, Psychology, and Sociology.  In addition, I have proudly coached the state-award-winning A.C. Jones High School Academic Decathlon team since 2001.  

I serve as the Social Studies Department Head and on numerous current and prior committees at the school and district level. 

Family Information:

I raise many pets and animals including dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens.  I happily live in the country and enjoy living in a small town; I love easy traffic and space between neighbors.  I come from a family of educators and truly enjoy working with teenage students.

Personal Information:

My hobbies include raising animals and reading.  In my free time, I catch up on land and animal work at home, try cooking new and diverse dishes, and read.  I hope to start vegetable gardening and put in fruit trees or a bee hive in the next year. I am also trying to travel to new places each year both in and out of the country.
