About Coach O'Steen

Hello Hello!

       I am so excited to be your P.E. Coach this year at Bridlewood Elementary STEM Academy. I hope you're all ready to be healthy and active Broncos! 

      Here are some fun facts about me..... I grew up in Flower Mound, Texas! Yep just like you! I loved this area so much I didn't want to leave. And luckily I married a man who was willing to stay! (My parents are thankful for that too!) 

       I went to college at Stephen F. Austin and got both my bachelors and masters degree from there. I have a degree in Education and Photojournalism/ Sports Broadcasting, with a minor in Photography. My masters is in educational administration. I loved going to school in Nacogdoches and am proud to be a Lumberjack alumni! Especially during March Madness! 

        I'm also an avid Chicago Cubs fan since birth and was on cloud 9 in 2016 when they finally won the World Series for the first time in 108 years! We were all hoping for a repeat of that season, but it's not looking so good this year.

       The summer before my undergrad graduation, I met my wonderful husband Chris while working out at Lifetime Fitness.

He is a Firefighter and Paramedic for the Carrollton Fire Department, and is on the DFW Rescue team. He has saved many lives and is very good at what he does, I am so proud of him! We got married a few years later!

        Together we have 4 kids. Kylie is my step daughter and she will be turning 20 in September and will be a junior studying Marine Biology at Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Matthew will be 14 in August and playing 8th grade sports and in the theater program at Downing Middle School. Addison will be 10 in October and is in 4th grade here in Mrs. Legg's class. And our caboose Brooke just had her second birthday this summer. She is walking, talking, laughing, singing, and loves cheering on her siblings in all their sports!

         My family brings so much joy and light into my life, and I thank God everyday for allowing me the opportunity to be a mama and wife! 

          We also have 3 fur babies, that I can't forget to introduce. Holly is our GoldenDoodle who will be 4 in October. Her human siblings can't go far without Holly nearby! She takes care of them and is stuck to them like she birthed them herself. We also have Sadie who is our Labradoodle. She will be 2 in September and is all puppy, she summer she realized she loves the pool as much as the kids. We also rescued our first ever cat named Stella. She has the patience of a saint with 4 kids and 2 dogs running around terrorizing her constantly, but we definitely should have named her Sassy! 

          My little brother Jeremy and his wife Lisa and my niece Brie and nephew Graham moved back to Texas!  My kids love having their cousins close and we try to hang out with them as much as possible.

       All growing up, I played teacher with my brother. He was 3 grade levels behind me and I taught him what I was currently learning, so I remind him everyday, that it's thanks me to he was in the honor's classes, got into Texas A&M, and graduated top of his class from engineering school! :) He begs to differ! 

        And these are my wonderful parents who have been super supportive of me during all my sporting days growing up, my college days, when I told them I was marrying a Cowboys fan, helping me successfully raise my children, and in my long time search for my dream job. I owe them everything!

  Well like I said before I have been teaching since I can remember, but this is my 13th year of teaching and my 5th in Lewisville ISD! I am really looking forward to this upcoming year and cannot wait to love on your children and help them grow in so many ways. I honestly and truly love them already and want them so badly to be successful!  Feel free to contact me should you need anything, my gym door is always open! Here's to a wonderful school year!
