I am currently in my 33rd year of education!  I am blessed to be teaching at Hill Country High School, where I encourage each student working toward their own individual graduation plan.  I oversee all the science curriculum as well as take personal responsibility enabling our students to pass the United States History End of Course exam.  These tutorials are a highlight of my job!

I have a Bachelor's of Science degree from Michigan State University Honors College--go Spartans!  My major was General Science, with a Biology minor.  I am two courses shy of an additional minor in both Chemistry and Mathematics.  Can you tell I love studying God's creation at its most basic level?  

I began teaching Life Science to 7th grade students in Michigan.  When we moved to Texas, I taught 8th grade Earth Science and PHYSICS!  I came to LOVE physics-furthering my training in physics thru several Woodrow Wilson Fellowships and Physics Teachers Resource Agent (PTRA) trainings at Texas A&M University.  I was selected for "Eyes in the Sky" and "Lift-Off" a total of 6 times, furthering my training in Astronomy and NASA's Space program.  

Personally, I love serving our Lord.  I am married to my high school sweetheart, Sam Fields, a local construction contractor.  We have a growing family: our four children are all married with 12 grandchildren between them.  I enjoy the challenge of training my horse Missy, and my Border Collie, Nyx.   We raise goats on our small farm, and kidding season is a joy!  Gardening, sewing, and reading are also enjoyable pastimes.  My husband and I operate his construction company, SAMAJA Co, LLC.
