I am thrilled to be the Choir Director at James S. Hogg Middle School!  My teaching career began in 1995 in a Waco ISD elementary school.  After 2.5 years there, I traveled to Amman, Jordan to teach at the National Conservatory of Music and the Amman Baptist School from 1998-2000.  I began teaching at Hogg in 2000, and have been the Choir & Theatre Director up until the 2015-16 school year.  The 2016-17 school year begins a new era of focus on Choral Music.  I am also the Fine Arts Department Chair and love being involved in all of the Arts Disciplines.

On a personal note, I LOVE to travel to new places and experience different cultures.  I believe bringing these experiences back to my classroom makes it a very unique learning environment.  I have been to 19 countries and counting!
