Hello! I started my career in education working at a psychiatric hospital and residential treatment center both in the Austin area and then also in northern Colorado. My husband and I are both from Austin, attending LISD and RRISD schools. I'm a UT graduate and avid Longhorn fan (Hook'Em!), going on to earn my master's degree in school counseling from the University of Northern Colorado in 2003. I have loved being a middle school counselor ever since!
I also love traveling, reading, watching movies, spending time with my daughter, and snuggling with my dog.
My number one passion is to help students feel like they have a voice. I'm proud of the work LMS does to promote mental health and maintain a fully comprehensive school counseling program through academic, career and social/emotional development.

Hello, I'm thrilled to be back at Leander Middle School after 10 years. Returning to a school and community that has always held a special place in my heart truly feels like coming home! I grew up in Austin and received my Bachelors degree from Texas Tech University and my Masters in Counseling from Texas State University. For more than 30 years, I've had the privilege of supporting students and families in Austin ISD, Round Rock ISD, Leander ISD and Lake Travis ISD. Along the way, I've served as a kindergarten teacher, elementary and secondary school counselor, counseling coordinator, and district counseling director. No matter my role, my passion has always been the same- helping students and staff feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.
I believe that strong relationships are the foundation of a positive school community and I love partnering with students, families, and staff to help every child reach their full potential. As the proud mom of a Cedar Park High School student, community is especially meaningful to me, both personally and professionally. When I have spare time, I enjoy reading, hiking, and being in nature.
I look forward to building relationships, celebrating success, helping students navigate challenges and being a source of encouragement for our LMS family. It's truly a joy to be back!

Hello, I am so happy to be a Tiger and work with your child at LMS! I grew up in Ohio (O-H.... Go Buckeyes!) where I graduated from a small High School in Lexington (Go Minutemen!). Right after High School I joined the Air Force (National Guard) and continued on to also attended Columbus State Community College (Go Cougars!) in Ohio where I received an Associate of Arts in Sports and Fitness Management. From there I moved to the lovely state of Colorado where I attended Colorado State University (Go Rams!) in Fort Collins. I continued at CSU with my Masters in Counseling and Career Development and started my School Counselor Career. I then moved to the Austin area and continued my career in education. I have worked with youth in a variety of ways since 2001.
I have a passion for working with youth and supporting mental health. I have worked at LMS since 2022 and consider this my home. I look forward to working with you and your child (Go Tigers!).
