Hi everyone! I currently serve as an educator in the Houston Independent School District. I have been blessed to do this for the last SEVEN years and can't imagine myself doing anything else. I am also working for a company in Austin that sponsors TAKS tutorials on Saturdays for kids in the HOOD! It has been quite an experience! Those kids are nuts! Lets see...what else? I'm dancing, growing up, and enjoying life. Figuring out who I'm going to be for the rest of my life.

My Interests

Shopping is probably my number one interest. On any given Saturday you can find me and my mom in a mall looking for shoes, purses, or anything else fabulous! Dancing keeps me pretty busy, too. I love Modern, Jazz, Ballet, Lyrical, Hip-Hop...I can appreciate any style. Going to the theater is right up there, too. West Side Story is my favorite musical of all time (I feel pretty...oh so pretty!) When I'm not doing that, I like to read magazines, books (currently plugging through the Da Vinci Code as we speak), and basically anything I can get my hands on. Napping is also a favorite pasttime!!! Nothing beats a good four-hour nap on a Sunday!

I'd like to meet:

Jesus, JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE, JANET, Oprah, and Venice Smith (my great-grandfather who died before I was born), Mary Magdalene

Music:

I LOVE anything from the 80s! The music had such a unique sound, but still very CHEESY! I also like to listen to GOSPEL, pop, 90s R&B, jazz and classical when I'm in a somber mood, light rock and easy listening. So, pretty much everything! Some of my favorite artists include CeCe Winans, Sting, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Nickelback, Israel and New Breed and last but certainly not least, the all-time greatest....STEVIE WONDER!

Movies:

Boomerang, Center Stage, Scarface, Lord of the Rings, Brown Sugar, The Passion, Chicago, Kings of Comedy, Harry Potter, and Bridget Jones to name a few. Really, I love movies of all genres. They are a great escape from the stresses of everyday life.

Television:

FRIENDS is the greatest show of all time. Notice I said is and not WAS because even though it has come to an end it's legacy lives on. Ross, Rachel, Phoebe, Chandler, Monica, and Joey...I could watch it everyday!!! Running a close second would be Will and Grace, Grey's Anatomy, Everybody Loves Raymond (tear), Seinfeld, the audition episodes of American Idol, Project Runway (don't sleep), So You Think You Can Dance (again, don't sleep) and, finally...drum roll please...OPRAH!

Books:

I think that the Bible is actually one of the most fascinating books ever written. The fact that it endures through the ages proves that its words and promises are true. No other self-help book can beat it! Some other goodies: The DaVinci Code, He's Just Not That Into You, Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban, A Million Little Pieces, Canterbury Tales, the list goes on...

Heroes:

Jacqueline Butler (my mom) and Norma Butler (my granny), my friend Amy Ansell (she knows why)
