Melanie+Evans-Smith

Strong, Energetic, Motivated Mother and Friend


 * __About Me__:**


 * I love life and working with others. I always see the positive in situations and think POSSIBILITIES!**

I was born and raised in Houston, Texas. I am a product in education of Houston ISD (Graduated from Westbury HS). I attended Texas A&M University (WHOOP...Go Ags!) and University of Houston.

I began in Education in Houston ISD at Sterling HS teaching Math and Science. I worked 5 years at Yates High School as Dean of Instruction under wonderful leadership. It is at Yates HS I learned and experienced the art of leadership. I have been working in Professional Development Services (formerly Learning Academy) since 2000. I have been challenged, driven, and energized in my career to focus my talents in working to improve the teaching environment by supporting developing (new) teachers. I am rewarded by the opportunity to work with talented and skillful colleagues.

On a personal note, I am married to Byron Smith and we have two wonderful kids - Christopher and Kayla. I have a small immediate family whom I love and provide a solid foundation of support. I enjoy laughter, monogramming (my hobby), outdoor activities, scuba-diving and traveling (whenever that happens) ...and I am still learning how to cook. Anyone have a good, easy recipe? **//:-)//**
