I knew I wanted to be a teacher and a coach since I was in the second grade. I loved to play sports, compete, learn, and teach. I have a passion for helping people become the best version of themselves in the classroom, one the court, and in life. I am from Waukomis, Oklahoma and moved to Texas in 2006. I played basketball and softball at Mid-America Christian University for three years prior to moving to Texas and finishing my degree at LeTourneau University. As my love to lead grew, others inspired me to get my Principal certification and my Superintendent certification from SFA, where I also got my Master's Degree in Educational Leadership. I have been married to my husband David since 2007 and we have three kids, Brandon, Mikinzi, and Caitlyn.
