Welcome to PACE! I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to teach this class! I am passionate about this subject because the more you know the better the decision you make. Decisions about your future are important and take not only thought, but research and reflection. My mission is to get you, the student, thinking about what you love to do and what you don't love to do. PACE is designed to help you take this information and make a plan, for today, the week, this semester, high school, and beyond.  Let's work together and build the skills it takes to put you on the road to success! Are you ready? I am! Please use the resources on this page and those given in class to pave this road. Need help? Have questions? My preference if not in person, is via email ! I look forward to learning more about you, but for now, here is a bit about me. I am an Oklahoma born  Native American. I am an active member of the Chickasaw Nation. I have been a Texas transplant since 1993 and a Cypress resident for 15 years. I have three children. Mirren, my oldest, graduated from Ranch in 2019, Baylor in 2022 and works at Frost Bank in Ft. Worth. Corinne, my middle child, graduated from Ranch class of 2023 and is a freshman at Tarleton State University studying animal science.  Iain, my youngest, is a junior here at The Ranch and is an avid baseball player.   I volunteer as a leader for Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council and am a photographer for a committee with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo. My passions are learning, photography, health, travel, knitting and family.  Let's work together to make it a great year!
