I have been in education for 18 years. I absolutely love what I do and do what I love! I am so excited to be one of the early childhood counselors at Menchaca Early Childhood Center for my 6th year as a Cardinal.
I believe all children deserve the very best education and support. They have limitless potential and I am honored to help them discover the power within themselves!
I am happily married to Scott and we have 3 children: Hunter (23) who graduated from Sam Houston State University works in Technology at a hospital, Joshua (27) who is a Radiologist and Captain in the Air Force, and Jessica (31) who followed her dreams to New York and works in a hospital. We also have our fur-baby, Lea Michele, who was a stray we adopted. She's part Chow and part German Shepherd and super lovable and huggable!
In my spare time, I am with my family. I enjoy reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and television shows.
