I have been at St. Mark since: 2003

Personal:  I was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma and my first job brought me to Texas. I enjoy traveling, cooking, music concerts, shopping, spending time with my two sons, friends and extended family. 
 
Statement of philosophy about education:  I believe all students should be taught to appreciate God-given talents in themselves and others. They need to experience a diverse, safe, learning environment that fosters  individual expression, real world application, and a love of curiosity. 

Mission Statement:  I will work as a team with parents to improve student’s academic performance, responsible decision making,  and self-confidence. I will encourage students and will be an example to students to live and make decisions as Jesus Christ would. I will teach that love, respect, kindness, and peace are still virtues to possess and pass on in our communities, our families, and in the global environment. I will know, love, and serve God through participation within the church and community.
