Marla has been a teacher for 14 years.  She currently teaches at Brackett Jr High and High School, teaching 8th Grade Science, 8th Grade Science & Technology, and Biology 1.  Prior to moving to Brackett, she taught 1 year at Uvalde High School (Biology), 4 years at Uvalde Jr High (7th & 8th Science), 3 years at Arlington Bowie HS (IPC & Biology), and 5 years at Shackelford Junior High (8th Science).  She has also worked as an environmental consultant.

Marla earned a Bachelors of Science in Biology at the University of Texas at Arlington, but she'll always be an Aggie at heart - she began her college education in the Wildlife & Fisheries Department at Texas A&M.

Marla enjoys travel, and exploring new places.  Her summers are often spent on the road, particularly in the western US.  She also enjoys concerts and live bands.  She is a huge Cowboys & Mavericks fan as well.
