About Mrs. Travis

Welcome back, hope you all had a wonderful summer.   We have a great staff at Oak Woods, and your child will be enriched and engaged throughout this new year. 

       I want to tell you a little bit about myself. I teach 5th grade Math at Oak Woods.  This is my 19th year and I love teaching MATH!!!!!  Prior to my career as a teacher, I worked in retail for 13 years. I was employed with Neiman Marcus, in Dallas.  I started in the North Park store as a Department Manager and went through their Executive Training program to become a buyer.  It was a very exciting career.  I traveled all over the world, to places like Hong Kong, Italy, France, England and New York. I designed a Private Label line in Hong Kong and I managed a 8 million dollar business, which I grew to 12 million in 3 years.

    Everything changed when I had children.  It was very difficult  to leave them every month, because the travel was extensive. I decided to stay home and raise them, until they reached school age.  I then went back to school, to get my teaching certification, and started a new career.  It's the best decision I've ever made and it has been extremely rewarding! 

     I have been married 33 years to my wonderful husband Jim.  We have 2 beautiful children.   Alexandra who is 28 and Luke who is 26 both are graduates of Texas A&M, Whoop!!!!   We have lived in Granbury for 23 years, and absolutely love the community.
