About Your Teacher |
|
 Experience: It is hard for me to believe, but I have been teaching for 20 years. I began in the Fort Worth Catholic Diocese. I spent 3 years as a 5th grade teacher at Our Lady of Victory Elementary, and 8 years as a 6th, 7th, & 8th grade Language Arts teacher at All Saints Catholic School. I came to Lily B. Clayton in 1999 and spent several years as a fifth grade teacher, and for the last few years I have been the Music teacher for this wonderful school.
Education: I have a double undergraduate degree from the University of Mobile: Music Education and Piano Performance. I also have a Master's of Education degree from Texas Wesleyan University. I am certified both in Music and Elementary Education.
Personal: I spend my "off time" at the Texas Girls' Choir as I am the Assistant Director and the Accompanist. I have traveled to over 40 countries of the world, performed in the White House 6 times, and feel very privileged to have performed on every continent except Antartica (maybe someday!).
I love to read - (mostly fiction), but lately I've been trying my hand at writing children's books. I believe "to whom much is given, much is required". I am an extremely proud adopted kid, so obviously, I know I have been given so very much in my life. Hopefully, I can give back just a little to the children I come in contact with everyday at the very special place called Lily B. Clayton.
