UIL Accounting Coach

Business Department Chair

I have taught in the Arlington ISD for 36 years, and I came to Martin High School in August, 1983. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Education and a Master of Education degree from Texas A&M at Commerce.

My two children graduated from MHS. My daughter, Tiffany, is a 1996 MHS grad and a 2000 graduate of Baylor University. Jon, my son, graduated from Martin in 1998 and graduated in 2002 from the University of Texas in Austin.

My hobbies include reading, shopping, and travel. My favorite vacations have included trips to Canada, Great Britain, France, Italy, the Grand Cayman Islands, the Caribbean, and many destinations in the U.S.
 

I have taught in the business department at Martin since the '95-'96 school year. I earned my Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1984. After having spent several years working in the business sector, I attended Texas Wesleyan University to earn my teaching certificates in Secondary Basic Business in 1991 and Secondary Mathematics Grades (6th-12th) in 1992.

I have taught in both certification areas for the AISD, but my favorite subjects to teach are any of the business computer classes. I believe computer skills used for both personal and business purposes are necessary for every student to learn in order to be successful. I frequently tell my students, "Forget NO PASS, NO PLAY; in the 'REAL WORLD', it's NO LEARN, NO EARN." I tell my students that they can earn their LBP (Learner by Practice) in my computer classes just as I have done. Teaching students to become life-long learners is paramount if they are to become productive members of society.
 

I am in my 3rd year teaching BCIS and Keyboarding here at Martin High School. In addition to teaching at Martin, I also coach volleyball and soccer.

I graduated from Martin in 1996. I have a BBA with a double major in Marketing and Management from TCU and an MA in Christian Education from Southwestern Seminary.

Seekers Sponsor

This is my 20th year to teach. I started teaching at North Mesquite High School in August of 1987, where I taught Typing, Economics, and Business math for 2 years. Because of a drop of enrollment, I was moved to Mesquite High School where I taught for 7 years (Typing, Economics, Business Math, Accounting and Accounting II). Because of my husband's job, we moved to Arlington, so I was fortunate enough to get a job here at Martin, and have been here for 10 years ( this is my 11th year here). I currently teach BCIS I and Business Support Systems. I have taught Accounting and Personal Finance here as well. I also help Rynthia Clements and Marilyn Broyles sponsor Seekers (Martin's student-led Christian club) here at Martin High School.

My husband is Randy, and he works as the Loss Prevention Internal Investigations Manager for Neiman Marcus. I have two children (Nicholas --age 13-- 8th grade at Young Junior High and Lauren --age 11-- 5th grade at Little Elementary). We have one dog -- Chip. As a family, we love camping and are very involved in our church (Lake Arlington Baptist Church).
