Growing up, I attended Paris schools. I am a graduate of the Class of 1996 from Paris High School. In December of 2002, I graduated from Texas A&M – Commerce.

I have a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas A&M – Commerce. I am also ESL certified.

I have been happily married to Erik Roddy for 21 years. We have four wonderful children. My daughter, Hayley, is grown and has a family of her own. She has blessed us with four beautiful granddaughters. All three of my boys attend Chisum High School. My twins, Nathan and Evan, are juniors, and Ryan is a freshman. I have considered it an honor and a privilege to teach where my children attend school. 

Being a mother and a Gia to my granddaughters keeps me quite busy. There is a saying: “The days are long, but the years are short”. I learned just how true that saying is with my daughter. Therefore, I spend as much time as possible with my family. I am loving every minute of the stage of life I am currently in. 

When I’m not enjoying family time, I love to read and practice photography. My husband and I love to travel. We are hoping to do more traveling someday when I retire.
