I have been teaching at Eastfield College since 1990. I had 13 years of experience teaching at W. H. Gaston in Dallas and 8 at W. H. Ford High School in Quinlan; selected Teacher of The Year for the Quinlan Independent School District in 1999. My teaching experience at Eastfield has included English 1301 and 1302 and English 2328 American Literature. I had eight years of experience teaching 1301 and 1302 courses through Paris Junior College while at Ford High School. I am Past President of the Dallas Council of Teachers of English. I served on the team which developed the hybrid English 1302 course through the LeCroy Center for distance learning.
I really enjoy teaching English and helping students learn to write and to enjoy good literature. My hobbies include collecting movies, gardening and stamp collecting. I am a Freemason, 33rd Degree in the Scottish Rite, a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, and Historian of the Board of Directors of the Garland Civic Theater. I also am involved in genealogy research for my family.
