I have been a resident of Natalia for many years. I started school in Natalia when I was in third grade and am a graduate of Natalia High School. I have been working in Natalia going on 31 years now. I started working in the computer lab as a paraprofessional. I then became technical assistant for the district. I attended college at night to get my degree to be a teacher. I started teaching in 2001 at the Elementary and then moved to the Jr. High. I have taught 4th grade reading, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade Science, 6th grade math and some other elective classes over the years. In the past I have coached volleyball, basketball, softball and track. I have been a sponsor of the National Junior Honor Society and Jr. High Student Council.
