My husband and I moved to Austin in 2016 to be near our daughter and grandson, leaving another daughter and grandson in Illinois. My college and post-grad years were focused on math, history (BA) and law (JD). I practiced law in the St. Louis area for several years, but left my legal practice to stay home with my daughters. We entered the homeschool community and stayed for 16 years, all the way through high school. That was where I learned that I love teaching!
I am currently teaching 8th grade pre-Algebra and 6th grade Latin at DSCA. I thoroughly enjoy my students and strive to challenge them to not only learn the subjects, but to enjoy them (or at least not be intimidated by them).
We love Hill Country and are currently building a house in Blanco. I love gardening and hope to plant a few herbs and flowers- but I may need to bring some soil down from the Midwest. Other than having to learn a whole new climate zone, this area and its people are a blessing that we hope to enjoy for years to come.
