Biography

        I am a native, fourth-generation Texan from right here in this area.  I was born at Harris Hospital in Fort Worth, as a matter of fact!  I attended Birdville schools (Mullendore Elementary, North Oaks Junior High and Haltom High...go Buffs!) and went on to be an Aggie.  Whoop, Class of '96!

        I graduated from
Texas A&M University in December of 1996 with a bachelor's degree in Biology.  As I was finishing, I began my studies in Interdisciplinary Studies (also known as Elementary Education).  I graduated again in May 1998.  I have also attended Hardin-Simmons University and received a Gifted and Talented Endorsement.

        I began my teaching career here at Dove Elementary in August of 1998.  So, yes, this is my tenth year to teach and tenth year in third grade!

        I love science!  I love my students to love science, too!  In fact, that is a major goal of mine every year...to teach students to enjoy science!

        I am married to our Dove music teacher,
Mr. Kevin Strang.  We have a wonderful daughter, Celia.  

        Some of my hobbies include spending time with my family, working out (lifting weights, spin class), cooking and baking, making cards/stamping, reading and watching television...the latter I have difficulty fitting into my schedule these days.
