In the year 2000, I saw Texas in my rearview mirror and started a new beginning as a Utahan and an elementary school teacher. 

Both changes have been a wonderful delight! Working in charter schools has been my choice from day one. The past 23 years have been filled with constant learning and love. 

I retired from the classroom in 2022 only to return part-time in the fall (2022-2023) as a paraprofessional. Children's energy and my co-worker's associations have been difficult to sever, they are my alarm clock and what keeps me moving these days!
