I started teaching in the fitness and wellness field on the West Coast over 40 years ago, starting as a personal fitness trainer and group exercise instructor and eventually moving into the role of national "trainer-of-trainers." It was a wonderful experience, although teaching fitness to children is my greatest passion!

After returning to Texas in 1998, I quickly grabbed the opportunity to coach and teach PE at Rockwall ISD. This included serving as PE and health Coordinator for teachers (K-Grade 12). Fast-forward, and I feel blessed and privileged to positively impact HCA (PK3-Grade 6) as an Elementary Physical Education teacher. I want every student to know they are loved and will always belong in PE!

I have two amazing adult children, along with their wonderful spouses, and two precious granddaughters. We are incredibly excited to welcome a baby boy this fall. God is so loving and faithful to our family!
