I have taught at Whitehouse High School since 2002.  I was the choral director at both the HS and JH for 7 years, then only assisted at the JH after that, being the sole director at WHS.  I am in my 19^th year of teaching at WISD.  I teach Beginning Tenor/Bass Choir, Beginning Treble Choir, Applied Music, Varsity Mixed Choir and Show Choir.

Prior to working at Whitehouse, I taught at Palestine HS, Rusk HS, Palestine Elementary, Anderson-Shiro K-12 music and Navasota JH as an English teacher.  I have taught a total of 34 years, 30 of which has been as a HS choral director.  Some of the memberships and officer positions I have had the honor to hold that have impacted my teaching experience greatly are:

Member of:  

Texas Music Educators Association

Texas Music Adjudicators Association

Leadership:

TMEA Vocal Chair: 6 years

TMEA Area Chair: 1 year

My husband, Rob and I have been married for 35 years and we have 2 sons, Taylor, 25 and Joel 23.  Both our sons graduated from Whitehouse HS.   

I enjoy several activities outside the school day.  I enjoy watching movies, video games, traveling, metal detecting, scrapbooking and collecting depression glass.
