I began teaching at Hudson Middle School in 2020. I teach Life Skills for grades 6-8. 

I started teaching in 2009. I taught in the Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities at Herty Primary School in Lufkin. Later I taught Adaptive Behavior at Lufkin Middle School. I was a special education aide for 14 years prior to receiving my degree and beginning my teaching career. 

I have been married to Ross Kay since 2012. Together we have 8 adult children and 7 grandchildren. 

My husband and I are members of St. Patrick Catholic Church and sing in the church choir. I am Recording Secretary for Catholic Daughters of the Americas Court Ladies of LaSalette #2777. I enjoy spending time with my children and grandchildren, photography, playing flute, singing, crosswords, and traveling.
