2. TTU Graduation, December 2014
This is how I felt most of the time (that’s
my husband of 45 years) working on my
degree in Technical Communication and
Rhetoric.
I am a mother of two, grand mother of
two, and great-grand mother of two. I also
have two rescue fur-babies, 1)-4 year old,
Chihuahua/German Shepherd, 2)-2 year
old dachshund.
I have been at TAMUCC since 1997. First as
a student (BA, MA, MS) and since 2003 as
an instructor.
I am truly a distance education teacher, as I
live in Pleasanton, TX.
