About Me

I’m so excited to kick off a year filled with discovery, exploration, and learning!

My journey began at Sam Houston State University, where I initially studied geology. It didn’t take long for me to realize that my true passion was teaching. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Education with a minor in Geology, and I've loved every moment of being an educator. I have a deep love for both science and math, and I’m proud to serve on the district’s Science Leadership Team.

This is my 21st year teaching in Eanes ISD, and after many wonderful years at Valley View, I’m thrilled to now be part of the Barton Creek Elementary community.

Outside of the classroom, life is full and lively! I’m a proud mom of four amazing kids. My oldest, Jax, is 21 and finishing his senior year at the University of Arkansas, where he’s studying broadcast journalism and playing rugby. My younger son, Jet, is almost 19 and getting ready to start his freshman year at Texas A&M University as part of the Corps of Cadets. I’m also lucky to have two wonderful stepdaughters: Mia, 24, who served in the U.S. Navy and is now studying at Texas State University, and Eva, nearly 19, who is beginning her theater studies at Austin Community College.

My partner Joe keeps our busy crew on track, works in e-commerce, and still manages to bring music into our home as a musician. And just to make things even more exciting, we recently added one more to the family. Clyde, our playful five-month-old puppy named after my grandfather, is curious, full of energy, and already certain he runs the place!

Austin feels a lot like my hometown of Albuquerque with its creative spirit and vibrant energy. I love exploring everything the city has to offer, especially kayaking on the water, hiking the trails, cooking new recipes, and catching live music whenever possible.

It’s going to be a fantastic year, and I can’t wait to get to know each of you!
