About Me

 I am originally from Odessa, TX and came to this area on a soccer scholarship and played for the then, Midwestern State Indians.  After graduating from MSU,  I started out my teaching profession in 2003 at Burkburnett High School and coached High School soccer for 2 years.  After the birth of our first child I stepped away from coaching and moved to Burkburnett Middle School until the fall of 2008.  I had the privilege of serving as the North Texas Area and the North Region Executive Director for Special Olympics Texas for 12 years. In 2020 I came back to where it all began. I am extremely  motivated to advocate and help those with disabilities and their families and all educational partners understand the power and value of inclusion.
