This is my 19th year as a Ridgeview Panther.  Before coming to RMS, I was a middle school and high school counselor for six years in a small district outside of Waco, TX.  Prior to that, I taught mathematics in 5th-8th grades in another small district in north Texas.  I am originally from San Angelo, TX and received my bachelor's degree from Angelo State University.  I earned my master's degree in counseling from Tarleton State University.  I am a veteran of the U.S. Air Force.  In my spare time, I enjoy bowling and watching the Dallas Cowboys and UT Longhorns football.

As a former Ridgeview Panther-- I am excited to be at Ridgeview and continuing my journey as a school counselor helping all students with issues that may be affecting their academics, career, and personal/social interaction. This is my eighth year in education and my second year at Ridgeview Middle School.  

I attended Henderson State University for my Bachelors in Psychology and Grand Canyon University for my Masters in Counseling. When I am not at work  you can find me spending time with husband and 2 kiddos.

Hello Panther Family.  Ridgeview MS is such a great school and I am proud to be a Professional School Counselor here. I have worked in education for 23 years, with this year being my 10th at RMS.  

I graduated from Texas State University with my Bachelor's Degree, and received my Masters from Texas A&M University - Central Texas.... However I am an original Austinite and a huge Texas Longhorn fan!!  Hook 'em!


We loop with our students so you will have the same counselor through all of middle school!
