Personal:

I am enjoying teaching at Texas Wesleyan University.

I teach graduate and undergraduate classes in research, bilingual and ESL classes, as well as supervising bilingual interns. I have been in education for over 23 years. I've been a classroom bilingual/ESL teacher, educational specialist, educational researcher for public television, school administrator, and a college and university professor. My research interests include educational issues affecting Latino students: parental involvment, teaching English Language Learners, bilingual/ESL education, and cultural diversity.

In my "spare" time, I love to read and watch movies. I also enjoy all kinds of music--listening, playing the piano and attending concerts. I also love spending time at the beach--any beach will do! Otherwise, I enjoy spending time with my family--husband, daughter, and son. Their sporting events, piano lessons, swimming, and karate lessons keep me busy. As a family, we enjoy classic cars and attending NASCAR races, especially at nearby Texas Motor Speedway. Everyone has their favorite drivers, and I even cheer for my favorite, Jeff Gordon!
