I am originally from Commerce, Texas, home of Texas A&M University-Commerce. Upon graduating from high school, I attended college at East Texas State University, where I was very involved in college life as a Chi Omega, a Little Sister to the Sigma Chi Fraternity, Sweetheart of Sigma Chi, and Golden Leos. Upon graduation with an accounting major, I moved to Dallas, Texas and worked as an internal auditor for the corporate offices of both Dr. Pepper Company and Pizza Inn, Inc. From there I moved back home to Commerce, earned my masters and teaching certificate and taught my first year in Wolfe City ISD and the next nine years in Commerce ISD.
In 1998 I was offered and accepted my current position of clinical instructor at Texas A&M University-Commerce. After 17 years of teaching, I cannot imagine doing anything else. I am very proud to be an educator........and continue to enjoy my job each and every day.
In October, 2002, I married Emerson Adams. We live in Commerce and Emerson is going back to school full-time to pursue a degree in Wildlife Conservation at Texas A&M University-Commerce.
In November, 2003, Content Literacy, An Inquirey-Based Case Approach, written by Dr. Wayne Linek and Dr. Betty Sturtevant was published. I'm very honored to be featured in the first chapter of this book. It's a textbook of case studies of effective middle and high school classroom teachers and it focuses on my teaching experiences in 1997, one of the six years I taught sixth grade social studies for Commerce I.S.D.
As hobbies, Emerson and I enjoy travel, animals and the outdoors. We have recently taken trips to Alaska, Colorado, the Smoky Mountain area, Jackson Hole, Wyoming.....and most recently the Pacific Northwest.............. We have an adorable Shih-tzu mix (Bailey) and two cats............plus...........we also raise beagle puppies on the side as a hobby.
