Educator

Education is so much more than the mere gathering of facts. I believe the primary role of education is to transform learners into productive members of their society. As a constructivist, I offer learners inquiry-centered curriculum that stimulates critical thinking abilities, and applications for their daily lives.

Howdy and welcome

AGvocate. Aggie. Wife. Mother. I live by the cowboy code.

Peter Drucker said that the best way to predict the future is to create it, and I believe him. After spending 20+ years in public relations and marketing, I am currently pursuing a doctorate degree, focusing on Agricultural Communications.

My new career goal: to research, to write and to teach. Above all, I want to make an impact, leaving the world a better place than when I came into it.
