After 10 years, I decided to return to teaching, since it is my first love, but this time in higher education. In 2006 I was hired by Texas State University to work in the Education and Community Leadership program and since then have taught master\u2019s courses at the Round Rock Campus.<\/p>\n<p>My hobbies include hiking, reading, walking my dog, and traveling.<\/p>\n<p>4.
